Not an official list per se, though I'm keeping a personal list of known AVR
bugs for GCC.
Picking a version is always a personal choice; It's a matter of what is right
for you. Having said
that, so far I'm not jumping into 3.4.x because of some of the issues I've
seen. IIRC, there is
an "EEPROM ordering" issue.... I can't remember exactly what the problem is,
something
about it being reversed.... and nobody has filed a bug report that I know of.

Nice setup. :-)
