[avr-gcc-list] Atmel 2561 support

[Peter Gregson]

Please help.  I run FC6.   I have been trying to build the avr-gcc toolchain 
to support the ATmega2561.  I have had a number of problems.
1. some of the patches to binutils-2.17/gas/config/tc-avr.c didn't work.  It 
looked like a line alignment problem.
2. the first hunk of the patch to gcc-4.1.2/gcc/config/avr/avr.c didn't work.  
I don't know why.
I compiled and installed binutils successfully (I think).  GCC would not 
compile because it said that my GCC compiler couldn't generate executable 
code.  It was working fine before I tried this.
I performed a test compilation with the previous compiler on a program known 
to compile successfully.  I had to add <string.h> which was not necessary 
before.  The compile failed with the message:   
/usr/local/bin/ld: unrecognized option '--hash-style=gnu'
I have never seen this before.

How do I fix it?
