:)
:)   $ ./configure
:)   creating cache ./config.cache
:)   checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
:)   checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
:)   checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
:)
:)   Nope, that's no good. What's in configure?:    avr-*-*)
:)
:)   $ ./configure --target=avr-*-*
:)   checking target system type... Invalid configuration `avr-*-*':
:)   system `*' not recognized
:)
:)   What about the GCC Manual?: Nope, no mention of avr as a known
:)   target.
:)
:)   Hmmm ... trying to read the minds of the tool's originators is not
:)   working very well.
:)
:)   Does some kind soul have a hint to share, regarding legitimate
:)   targets?
