I completely agree with Joerg. IMO there is *NO* present user of the gnu
toolchain for AVR that is not aware of the fact that the best place to find
recent documentation is the avr-libc project. I'd like to estimate that 95%
of the users even would not know how to access the information on the
binutils info pages :-).
Without Joerg's changes the binutils port was extremely outdated. The only
reason why this did not cause difficulties is, that almost every user has
been working with pre-compiled binaries that were generated with the patches
that were distributed and maintained by the maintainers of the avr-libc
projects (thank's to Joerg Wunsch and Eric Weddington IIRC :-) ).
So the private binutils version of Joerg generally has a more official status
than the cvs version :-).
Yours,
Bjoern.
