Hi Bjoern,

Thanks for the personal reply, the list is partially broken at the moment so
I'm CCing all responders to my thread

I've outgrown atmega169 so have upgraded to atmega329. I'll try
using -mmcu=atmega169 and adding back the mode modules I've stripped out,
this will exceed 16K bytes o will test your theory.

Exceeding SRAM of course, is not allowed because I would then mangle the
stack.

The header file is, in essence, very similar with only the PCIE/PCIF bits in
EIMSK/EIFR different. I did a diff but the files have a totally different
layout so almost all lines have changes.
