Bump version 7.6 to 7.6.1
-------
GDB 7.6.1 provides the following fixes and improvements to GDB 7.6:
* PR tdep/15420 (Cannot debug threaded programs on newer versions
of x86-solaris - Solaris 10, Update 10 or later)
* PR remote/15455 (QTro remote packet broken)
* PR build/15476 (Build failure due to incomplete enum type in utils.h)
* PR server/15594 (tls support in 64x32 x86 gdbserver doesn't extend
address to 64 bit)
* PR server/15075 (dprintf inteferes with "next")
* PR server/15434 (dprintf uses a synchronous 'continue' even in
non-stop mode)
* PR tui/14880 (in split register layouts, up results in assertion
failure in value.c)
* PR c++/15519 (GDB 7.6 is 94x slower than GDB 7.5.1 using a certain
core file)
* PR gdb/15837 (GDB prints entry values for local variables)
* PR gdb/15415 (gdb resolves symbolic links when passing argv[0])
* PR cli/15603 (CTRL-C can no longer interrupt inferior)
* PR gdb/15604 (gdbserver socket leak 7.5 regression)
different from the PR (When submitting patch to pkgsrc with
adding more patches, submitter should do cvs add
patches/patch-hoge, before creating the pkgsrc patch, thanks).
I belive both simulavr and avr-libc will be packaged fine with this.

4.7.3 to 4.8.3 -- From grepping 'avr' from NEWS file:
--------------
On AVR, the configure option --with-avrlibc supported since GCC 4.7.2
is turned on per default for all non-RTEMS configurations. This option
arranges for a better integration of [3]AVR Libc with avr-gcc. For
technical details, see [4]PR54461. To turn off the option in non-RTEMS
configurations, use --with-avrlibc=no. If the compiler is configured
for RTEMS, the option is always turned off.
* Support has been added for the AVR-specific configure option
--with-avrlibc=yes in order to arrange for better integration of
[3]AVR-Libc. This configure option is supported in avr-gcc 4.7.2
and newer and will only take effect in non-RTEMS configurations. If
avr-gcc is configured for RTEMS, the option will be ignored which
is the same as specifying --with-avrlibc=no. See [4]PR54461 for
more technical details.

--------------
For the changes for 4.7, see following page.
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.7/changes.html
(Picking up AVR related topic from above info):
The AVR port's libgcc has been improved and its multilib
structure has been enhanced. As a result, all objects
contributing to an application must either be compiled with
GCC versions up to 4.6.x or with GCC versions 4.7.1 or
later. If the compiler is used with AVR Libc, you need a
version that supports the new layout, i.e. implements #35407.
The AVR port's -mshort-calls command-line option has been
deprecated. It will be removed in the GCC 4.8 release. See
-mrelax for a replacement.
The AVR port only references startup code that clears .bss and
the common section resp. initializes the .data and .rodata
section provided respective sections (or subsections thereof)
are not empty, see PR18145.
Applications that put all static storage objects into
non-standard sections and / or define all static storage
objects in assembler modules, must reference __do_clear_bss
resp. __do_copy_data by hand or undefine the symbol(s) by
means of -Wl,-u,__do_clear_bss resp. -Wl,-u,__do_copy_data.
Switch from Codesourcery to GNU FSF

Remove libiberty work around
(upstream)
Bump Version 2.23.2 to 2.24
(From binutils-2.24/binutils/NEWS)
---------------------------
Changes in 2.24:
* Objcopy now supports wildcard characters in command line options that take
section names.
* Add support for Altera Nios II.
(From binutils-2.24/ChangeLog)
---------------------------
(cross_only): Remove target-libiberty.
Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
BOSSA is a flash programming utility for Atmel's SAM family of flash-based ARM
microcontrollers. The motivation behind BOSSA is to create a simple,
easy-to-use, open source utility to replace Atmel's SAM-BA software.
