The presence of a turn-key simulator as per simtest-howto.html
makes it *immensely* more simple for others than hardware
holders to regression-test their GCC changes, verify bugs and
fix them. So all the shouting from AVR enthusiasts is suggested
be better spent getting an AVR simulator and a newlib port in
the tree.
I forgot to say that the AVR simulator is a GPL'd project
on Savannah:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/simulavr
There's also a gdb-remote debugger for JTAG ICEs:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/avarice/
AFAIK, these projects have never tried merging into
gdb... and perhaps they should consider it.
