It is possible to auto-detect the compiler version and enable device library.
Attached a patch.
It checks for gcc version (less than 5.0, 5.1.0 or greater). If version
is >= 5.0.0 then device library is enabled.
A configure option "--enable-device-lib" is added so that users can enable
device library even with older versions of gcc (if they backport device
library patch).
Following table illustrates the crt file and device library name/layout
expected by gcc. AVR-LibC configure is updated to follow this layout.
Example: atmega1280
+----------------+-------------+-------------------------+-----------------+
| | GCC < 5.0.0 | GCC 5.1.0 | Others |
+----------------+-------------+-------------------------+-----------------+
| crt file | crtm1280.o | crtm1280.o | crtatmega1280.o |
+----------------+-------------+-------------------------+-----------------+
| device library | | dev/atmega1280/libdev.a | libatmega1280.a |
+----------------+-------------+-------------------------+-----------------+
Is the attached patch Ok?
