At first sight it looked promising, but when I tested code around 
avr-gcc's PR45263 for ATmega256* it did not work and I thought my patch 
was incorrect.  avrtest passed the test.

The big drawback of avr-dgb build-in sim is that there's not a word 
about what it can do and what it can't do.

Presumably it's just a core simulator that does not care for RAMP*, EIND 
and has less capabilities than simulavr.  But I found no information on 
the simulator and no hint if it's from scratch or originates in some 
other sim.
