For future reference, remember that when you make a bug report, the 
"summary" is critical - it lets people see at a glance what the problem 
is, it is used for searching for similar problems, and is used in 
reports of outstanding issues.  If you are having difficulty summarising 
your problem in a short phrase, then that is a very good indication that 
you are not ready to submit a bug report.  After all, if you are not 
able to concisely express the problem, how are other people going to 
understand it?

Back to the problem at hand - it is most likely an issue with the source 
code, not the compiler or library.  Obviously I can't be concrete 
without knowing details of the problem, but that's how the statistics 
lie - almost all issues are in the user source code, not the tools.  So 
that is the first place to look - contact the authors and the project 
mailing list for help.

If you think the problem is with the compiler, or perhaps a 
misunderstanding about use of the compiler, then the avr-gcc mailing 
list might be able to help you out.  But you will need to establish 
exactly what is going wrong first - to be able to help, people need 
minimal code snippets that illustrate the problem.

Hope that helps,

David
