You're basicly asking for a compiler update, which is a painful and time consuming task. I'm responsible for the avr toolchain, but as the name suggests, it's just a tool, and I rather work on tinyos softwares than tools. I only do this, because nobody else does. The gcc 4.8 based beta toolchain will be released in the next couple of weeks at least for dpkg based linux and cygwin. Sorry for your incovinience.
