Hello Ned and Eric,

Thank you VERY much for the reply!

Got this and hacked it into an ebuild which seems to work, 
but it is acting odd, not sure if this is the result of not 
having the right version of avr-binutils or not.  I am VERY 
lost and will show why below.

Fixed up an ebuild for that and emerged it, thanks!

Now as to the confusion.

atmega168 still fails as not valid, however:

{~/projects/wrl/kbc2313} $ avr-gcc --version
avr-gcc (GCC) 4.0.0 20050123 (experimental)

In my makefile:

FLAGS= -g -Os -mmcu=atmega168 -Wall

which results in:

  atmega169 atmega32 atmega323 atmega64 atmega128 at94k
Assembler messages:
Fatal error: unknown MCU: atmega168
[ ... ]

However, if I change the FLAGS line in the makefile to (I 
saw this somewhere):

CFLAGS= -g -Os -mmcu=atmegan68 -Wall

I get:

unknown MCU `atmegan68' specified
Known MCU names:
[ ... ]
    atmega168
[ ... ]

As for the patches at:

http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=2923#attached

I have no idea if these are relevant at this point.

Thoughts or suggestions appreciated!

Just the way I had to name it to make the ebuild maker 
happy :).

Thanks very *VERY* much & take care, V.
