Description Andre Swanepoel 2008-10-30 15:08:48 UTC 
When I try to compile binutils for the AVR32 platform, the following error
message is displayed:
BFD does not support target avr32-unknown-linux-uclibc.

I am using the Gentoo crossdev tool and filed a bug, but was instructed to
report it to upstream.

The original bug report: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=236963

Current patches: http://avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/BinutilsPatches
Comment 1 Eric Weddington 2008-10-30 17:20:23 UTC 
The AVR32 port has not yet been added upstream as we (Atmel) don't yet have our
FSF Copyright assignment. However, it is in process, but I don't yet know when
it will be in place. We cannot submit the patches upstream until the copyright
assignment is in place.

We are definitely aware of this issue, but I'm closing this bug as WONTFIX, as
it is not really a bug.

No updates.
Comment 4 RM 2011-01-15 02:18:47 UTC 
binutils still doesn't seem to build with an avr32 target.  

What's going on?  Is Atmel serious?

Seems to be some current work happening here:

Does this build now? What's the status ?

Thanks.
