That's OK, but a library that doesn't compile at all is even worse
than a library that fails at runtime for just a few devices.

That's certainly still intended, and the respective bug report is
still open as "In Progress".  However, I could not afford the time to
track more things down *right now*, but needed a release with those
things that have already been fixed quite urgently (in particular, the
inclusion of <math.h> in <util/delay.h>).  I also had to tackle some
other things down before the release (like, finding a way to not spam
every user of <avr/pgmspace.h> with dozens of warning lines, even if
those users don't ever intend to use the deprecated typedefs).

That's life, time is just a finite resource.

I just re-committed the patch from changeset 2257.  (Ironically, it
got the revision 2275. ;-)
