Can you please make the two links https-links?  (Especially the
one to gcc.gnu.org actually redirects.)

Just using "#44574" for a reference, may that be a little confusing,
or is it sufficiently clear to AVR users?

How about making this "...-nodevicelib</code> prevents the compiler

"was not" (or "is") instead of "had not", and can you please use
https here as well?

Though, really, could this be just simplified to "If the compiler is
not configured for use with AVR-LibC to begin with, this option has 
no effect"?


Your patch is fine with the above changes or considering them and
deciding not go for one or the other.
