Re: compiling gcc 4.1.1 for AVR

[Amit Choudhary <amit2030 at yahoo dot com>]

Hi Alee,

I follow a simple rule:

If I am getting compiler errors that I do not understand and if 
(ideally) those erros should not have been there, then possibly
I am using the wrong toolchain. So, I go looking for the
latest/most appropriate toolchain.

Regards,
Amit
