Hi Eric,

D. Robertson from FSF wrote that he "will send me the papers". That was 
end of january. The papers didn't arrive yet. As you said, FSF 
assignments take a lot of time so I didn't wonder about that or ask 
Robertson about it in order not to delay matters.

I don't know how long the snail will need to make its way from boston to 
good old germany...and back again.

As far as the patches are concerned, I must admit that it's hard to keep 
track of the "big picture". The patches are all on trunk, so it's not 
possible to build one patch on top of an other, e.g. some stuff atop the 
builtins or the adjust_insn_len (if that will ever make it into avr).

Is it possible to branch avr backend? There is no work on avr trunk 
except some bug fixes in this stage, so a merge will be easy. But it 
would be easier to track the actual work on avr backend, and it would be 
easier to test nightly builds.
