Thanks, Eric. I see that the WinAVR avr-gcc is much newer than the
avr-gcc I had downloaded from avrfreaks. 

I took a look at the gdb and AVaRICE docs. It sounds like they do not
offer some of the conveniences of AVR Studio, like windows for watch,
processor, code, etc. So I'd like to continue to use the AVR Studio for
debugging. Is this possible--or advisable? I tried running elfcoff on
WinAVR's .hex file but got an error...

Thanks,
Wallace
