 I think I might have mentioned I had no clue what I was 
doing here :-), I'm willing to try to figure this out in 
the hope that it benefits the gentoo avr community with 
ebuilds.

 It certainly is educational, to be sure :).  Much confusion 
and ignorance being slowly dispelled with y'alls gracious 
assistance.

Well, sigh, I thought I had the *PATCHED* versions except 
for binutils....

Apparently got this one all together, or at least the ebuild 
was successful including applying the patch.  Won't know 
for sure until I get it all together and can test it 
against known working stuff from my old version.

Still trying to figure out this one.  Patch fails 
*completely* for 3.4.3 and 3.4.0 (I thought maybe this 
would help - not - same results).  No idea what I am doing 
wrong with this one yet.

Got avr-libc 1.2.1 and it installed fine.

I backed this off to 3.4.3 and then back to 3.4.0 - will 
return to 3.4.3 and see if I can figure out why the patch 
fails totally.

Thanks & take care, V.
