hi

these modules are not for x86 or any other pc-platform. they are for  
the AVR-microcontroller! so they should not be aplied to gcc or  
binutils, because normal users need not to compile code for  
microprocessors.

AVRs are in opinion the best 8bit uC ever, so i create a module to  
keep track of my versions of the toolchain on my HD. when i noticed  
that there are geda and pcb modules around, i thinked that somebody  
could have interest in uCs and submited these modules. so it is with  
"kontrollerlab", which is a IDE for this toolchain and the progammer.
