Yes, 6 of one, half-dozen of the other. My point was that it would be
handiest to replicate all the bugs, features, and patches, of WinAVR.
Bugs are unknown features. Once documented a bug becomes a feature. :-)

That's a 3rd. Yet another in Fink, http://www.finkproject.org/. The  
Fink version of avr-gcc is 3.4.5 in the unstable branch. Nothing  
particularly wrong with 3.4.5, but it does
suggest that the port isn't getting much attention.
