Hi Gustavo,

It's nice to know who the other distro maintainers are. :-)

I now have the patches I use in WinAVR in the WinAVR CVS repository:
<http://winavr.cvs.sourceforge.net/winavr/>
There's a README file which explains the patch organization and naming
convention.
See the patches for binutils 2.17, GCC 4.1.2, insight 6.5 (which some are
valid for straight GDB), and simulavr 0.1.2.2. Jörg and I try to keep our
patches synchronized, but at the moment I might have more patches for AVR
GCC 4.1.2 that fixes more bugs than what Jörg has in the FreeBSD Ports.

HTH
Eric
