Details:

avr-gcc installs the ISO/IEC TR18037 "Embedded C" header stdfix.h in an
install path prior to $target/inlude.

If avr-libc wants to hook in, it should install it's addendum to stdfix.h. 
There are basically two ways to do it:

1) Install it as stdfix-avrlibc.h and stdfix.h will pick
   it up (preferred).

2) Use the GNU extension #include_next <stdfix.h> to include
   avr-libc's stdfix.h

Stuff that avr-gcc's stdfix.h provides are basic definitions from 

* 7.18a.1 Introduction (sat, fract, accum)
* 7.18a.3 Precision macros (IBIT, FBIT, MN, MAX, EPSILON, ...)

and maybe more stuff that's easy to implement like

* 2.1.7.4 bits/fx/
* 2.1.7.5 /fx/bits
* more such basic stuff like absfx, roundfx that could
  be provided with built-ins.

It would already help if you provide a dummy file that does nothing.  Without
even a dummy, the above includes will barf, of course.  But with them, you can
hook in new stuff at any time and at your option.
