------- Comment #4 from corsepiu at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-02-11 17:17 ------- The binutils patch mentioned in comment#2 seems to fix this issue.
Today's gcc-trunk using binutils-2.18 with the patch applied doesn't expose this breakdown anymore. => The cause for this breakdown was using insufficient binutils. Bootstrapping/building gcc-4.3 for the avr requires binutils > 2.18. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35073
