Someone replied to me privately that the AVR ISP programmer in
question (a separate gadget marketed by Atmel) indeed uses the STK500
protocol, so it ought to work.

I agree that AVR910 should be made available in avrdude as well.  I've
got an old AT90S1200 gambling in a drawer that serves no useful
purpose.  I might try turning that into an AVR910 programmer for
testing.  That way, the entire toolchain should IMHO even work on
Solaris as a host platform.  (I've already tried binutils/gcc/libc
once on Solaris, and they worked flawlessly.)
