[avr-gcc-list] Building the gnu compiler

[Erik Christiansen]

   Following Atmel's link, I'm trying to build the compiler from the
   AVR Development Tools Snapshots at
   http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/avr-libc/snapshots/ ,
   starting with binutils.

   The README is the bog standard minimalist one, with not a word about
   avr configure options, and the archive for this list appears not to
   be searchable, so let's see if the thing is ready to roll:

   $ ./configure
   creating cache ./config.cache
   checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
   checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
   checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

   Nope, that's no good. What's in configure?:    avr-*-*)

   $ ./configure --target=avr-*-*
   checking target system type... Invalid configuration `avr-*-*':
   system `*' not recognized

   What about the GCC Manual?: Nope, no mention of avr as a known
   target.

   Hmmm ... trying to read the minds of the tool's originators is not
   working very well.

   Does some kind soul have a hint to share, regarding legitimate
   targets?

Regards,
Erik
