There is no need for two copies of avr-gcc (although as an aside, I think it
sometimes makes sense to keep old copies of the compiler around - it can be
important when going back to old projects).  It's quite likely that Bruce's
method works with new versions of the compiler - but with this kind of
compiler "abuse" it is good to stick with a version that you know well.
