If the generated code is wrong, then a bug report should be filled out. 
If it works on other targets, and not on the AVR target, then a bug 
report should get filled out. If the feature never existed before, and 
this feature is desired, then fill out a bug report and mark it as an 
"enhancement".

Somebody, *please*, get this documented in the correct place: a GCC bug 
report.

Thanks
