That is not entirely true. You can also use my toolchainbuilder
included in the Femto OS distribution. I know it is a year old,
so makes use of 4.3.4. I think Bingo600 does a better job in 
keeping it up to date, but mine works for windows, linux and 
mac os. It is based on WinAVR too.

Usually this guy does not need the bleeding edge patches,
very latest gcc etc, so his task is a little easier. But yes, it can 
be a nuisance. This is the reason btw why i build my toolchain
installer. If you want to try my OS you want to try the OS and
not spend your time building a toolchain.
