Re: [Patch,avr]: Remove -mshort-calls option

The problem is that this option would better not have existed straight
from the beginning.  When using it, the compiler is at the risk of
generating code that fails to link later, because the relative calls
used could not reach the entire address space of the respective
processor.

Also notice that this is only about the -mshort-calls option of the avr port, not about similar named options that exist for some other ports.
