[Reply #30 on:]

BTW I just successfully compiled the patched gcc-avr 4.3.5 so dsh your x86_64 PKGBUILD is fine... the binutils must be force installed before building gcc-avr 

Still I'm sticking with the official Arch gcc 4.5.2 for now. Very happy to be Arduinoing on Arch thanks to the assistance of this forum!

[Reply #31 on:]

Has someone reported this bug upstream (to the avr-gcc developers) ?

Regards, PyroPeter

[Reply #32 on:]

Since the problem was solved by applying Debian patches I am sure the Debian package maintainer will have already reported any bugs to the main GCC / binutils teams. Patches very often aren't applied to the main codebase straight away in case they break something somewhere else.

But the person maintaining Arch avr binutils probably ought to know that there are patches they should be applying.

Did someone inform the Arch maintainer for binutils and gcc-avr?
It will probably work better if we would know which patch exactly solves the problem (I only took a look inside debian's binutils package, it contained about 35 patches)
I would also be interested in the upstream bug reports.

I don't know if this was mentioned already, but the bug only occours in the original GUI included in the arduino package. I had no problems using arduide/arduino-ide.

@dsh: could you upload your packages to the AUR?

[Reply #34 on:]

Since previous links are dead and some people asked me to upload the PKGBUILDs to AUR...

Here is the link to the PKGBUILDs, it will be up until I find time to finally make a proper homepage:
http://filip.sobalski.pl/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=gcc-avr-debian-pkgbuilds.tar.gz

As far as AUR is concerned, feel free to submit them to AUR in your name. I don't have time to maintain them let alone fix them so they are properly written and adhere to arch guidelines. They are just quick hacks.

I'm getting 403 forbidden on the download links...

Strange, because it works for me. Still getting the error?

That PKGBUILD does not longer compile because packages in the GNU ftp folder have different extension.
This PKGBUILD is updated for binutils-avr 2.20.1-2 and for the corresponding version of the patches, and works fine:

Code:

# PKGBUILD based on the binutils-avr PKGBUILD by
