It's the log of the configure script

I didn't know that "crossdev --target avr" do the trick. Maybe some
documentation should be useful, or did I miss something ? If people thinks it's
useful I can try to write something.

How did you get avr-gcc onto your system if not using crossdev?

> How did you get avr-gcc onto your system if not using crossdev?

I thought that "emerge avr-libc" would have done it, but it didn't work.

It's not only a 1.4.4 error, masking it and trying to rebuild the toolchain
cause the same fail error on 1.3.3. I think there's something wrong about gcc
itself.

There's nothing wrong with the toolchain. The avr-libc ebuilds are supposed to
be used through crossdev (or at least, you're supposed to have a working avr
toolchain installed). I'm working on a proper check for this to put in
pkg_setup().

It's not a gcc problem, it's a crossdev problem.
Step to obtain a avr-libc emerge success:

crossdev -t avr

building binutils, gcc and then failing avr-libc.

use gcc-config to set avr-3.4.6/vanilla

crossdev -t avr

here you have avr-libc emerged.

It's simply a PATH issue, avr-libc can't find avr-gcc in the PATH, so it fall
back on gcc that fails to produce objects for --target=avr.

I can not reproduce that here. Besides, that's an entirely different problem
than what this bug report deals with. This bug report is about avr-libc failing
when emerged through 'emerge avr-libc' without having an avr toolchain
installed.

Please open a new bug for the crossdev problem if it persists.

You're right, sorry. I think some more rest would help me avoiding error like
this.
Reported in bug #136105

I have added a check for 'avr-gcc' and a hint about using crossdev to
dev-embedded/avr-libc-1.4.4. Thank you for reporting this.
