I also want to point out that time is running out for those 3 DWARF2 
bugs for the AVR for GCC 4.0. I just saw an announcement on the GCC list 
where Mark Mitchell (the Release Manager) wrote:
"In terms of schedule, I plan to create the first prerelease this 
weekend, in preparation for a final release on or about the 15th, as 
planned.  After I make the prerelase, the branch will be slushy, and all 
non-documentation commits will require my approval."

So if any fixes don't make it into the 4.0 FSF tree, the toolchain 
distributors will need the patches.
