But at least, if I bootstrap on a certain compiler, then configure, it will be able to build there, yes? > Do you have any input on this? Am I right in the assumption that the main issue is that ./devtools/gen-avr-lib-tree.sh is called only when bootstrapping? I guess it might be possible to (re-)do this at configure time. It means the script needs to be delivered into the final release tarball, but that's going to be the least problem. I would (obviously) much prefer that the library can be built on at least a few recent/stable versions of GCC (say, 4.8 through 5.1), as opposed to just a single (matching) version. -- cheers, Joerg .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
