Good to hear.

The current patch can for example be found via

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/ports/devel/avr-gcc/files/patch-binary-constants?rev=1.2&content-type=text/plain

It's taken against the 3.4.x branch.  I'd see whether it still fits
for the CVS head before submitting it.

I'm the author of it.  By now, I've only got the paperwork done for
binutils, but I'd take this as an occasion to also do it for GCC.
