Of course not. I did not mean to imply that. Just as you well know, time and
volunteers are hard to come by. I was hoping that perhaps a workaround (even
as large as using avr-libc instead of newlib) would be a faster way to get
you where you want to go. I have no idea how long it will take to fix this
issue.

Another alternative would be to fall back to using 3.4.6, as that version
seems to be fairly stable.
