[avr-gcc-list] compatiblity between gcc, binutils and avr-libcd

[Marvin Dickens]

Hello,

I recently upgraded from gcc 2.9 for the avr and during the process, I 
found that I could not find consistent information that described 
version compatibility between the different tools in the avr tool chain.
To make a long story short, I could not find a single source of 
up-to-date information that described this issue and I had to play 
around with a couple of different versions of the various tools to get a 
tool chain that would compile and most importantly, play nicely with the 
other tools in the chain. My new avr tool chain works great and in my 
case, figuring out the version thing was not that big a deal. But, users 
new to Linux (Or UNIX or programming...) would most likely have problems.

Does anyone on this list know of a single source or document that 
describes which versions of gcc, binutils and avr-libc work well 
together in an avr tool chain?
