SoftwareSerial on ATTiny85

I've stumbled across this issue while trying to build a GPS receiver around an ATTiny
http://code.google.com/p/arduino-tiny/issues/detail?id=49

Print.h from the Arduino 1.01 environment and the different Tiny cores differ.

The version from Tiny seems to be newer (edit 2011) yet incompatible... any suggestions?

basically, I want the tiny to handle all the GPS stuff and query it through I²C on the GPS info
