Hi,

Please subscribe to this mailing list so your posts do not have to be approved.

Have you compared your script to existing build scripts that are known to work? 
If you go to the AVR Freaks website (www.avrfreaks.net), in the AVR GCC Forum, 
there is a sticky post regarding a build script for linux. There are also 
instructions in the avr-libc user manual for how to build the tools.

This section stands out to me in your build script:

  make ${MAKEFLAGS} all-gcc >> ${BUILDDIR}/make.log 2>&1
  make install >> ${BUILDDIR}/make.log 2>&1

  #Now try to install libgcc
  make ${MAKEFLAGS} all-target-libgcc >> ${BUILDDIR}/make.log 2>&1
  make install-target-libgcc >> ${BUILDDIR}/make.log 2>&1

All of these build targets should not be necessary. All you should need is 
'make all install'. I don't understand why you are trying to build and install 
libgcc separately.

Also you said this:

This is the startup code for a particular device. My guess is that it probably 
cannot find it because avr-libc did not build correctly, because avr-gcc did 
not build correctly.
