Should be possible, but it's more than the IO header files.  Some #ifdefs
need to be extended, too.

Alas, since the day when Anitha Boyapati has left the Atmel team that
handles the AVR tools, there has not been much contribution back from
Atmel to avr-libc.  Instead, they maintain their own set of patches
(until it will eventually become unmaintainable ...).

I don't think that's going to help much.  I've seen your message to
the AVaRICE list, but didn't have the time to analyze your traces.
Ping me again in case I might forget about it.  (Independently, it
might make sense to file an official bug report.)
