avr-libc support for the failing device (atxmega256a3bu) was added after
1.8.0, which is why the build goes fine with 1.8.0.

The reason for the failure is because of a typo in the compiler defined
macro for the device in gcc (see r209446).
-AVR_MCU ("atxmega256a3bu",   ARCH_AVRXMEGA6, AVR_ISA_NONE, 
"__AVR_ATxmega258A3BU__",   0x2000, 5, "x256a3bu")
+AVR_MCU ("atxmega256a3bu",   ARCH_AVRXMEGA6, AVR_ISA_NONE, 
"__AVR_ATxmega256A3BU__",   0x2000, 5, "x256a3bu")

The fix has been backported to gcc 4.9.1, so upgrading avr-gcc to that
version should fix the problem. If you don't want to do that and don't 
care about the device, you can just change include/avr/io.h to check for
the wrong name :)

Hope this helps.
