So all the shouting from AVR enthusiasts is suggested be better spent getting an AVR simulator and a newlib port in the tree.I forgot to say that the AVR simulator is a GPL'd project on Savannah: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/simulavr There's also a gdb-remote debugger for JTAG ICEs: http://sourceforge.net/projects/avarice/ AFAIK, these projects have never tried merging into gdb... and perhaps they should consider it.
[Getting OT] Bernardo,Both of these projects are going through upheavals at the moment for different reasons. SimulAVR is going through changes to its internal architecture, and new management has taken over. Both Avarice and SimulAVR (and many other AVR projects) have just lost a long time volunteer developer due to health issues, and this developer just happens to be the AVR port maintainer for GDB. Avarice could be in need of new maintainer. So a lot of things are in flux right now and there seems to be some interest into finally getting a system together that can do more simulation as well as be used for running the testsuite. But this is getting OT for the gcc list, better to take this to the avr-gcc-list <http://www.avr1.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-gcc-list>.
