I guess you applied the patch "40-avr-libc-1.6.4-fix-attiny13a- 
arch.patch"? With this patch I need to use bootstrap (because the  
patch moves the attiny13a from avr2 to avr25), without it the avr-libc  
builds fine here without bootstrap.

IMHO the point is that users need to bootstrap, if they apply a patch  
which needs changes in a makefile.
BTW: For me as a user it's even worse to build binutils with all the  
patches from winavr, because AFAIK the autoconf / autoheader version  
has to be exactly 2.59, not newer.
