+Looks like an incompatibilty between the object gcc (which is now 4.7.2) 
+and the target gcc (the specfile still pulls in 4.6.2).
+
+To make cross-avr-gcc build
+- cross-avr-binutils (which is used as a dependency) must be rebuilt
+   to use binutils-2.23 (the present cross-avr-binutils uses 2.20),
+- cross-avr-gcc must be re-built to use gcc-4.7.2 (and some tweeks - see
+   bugzilla 7825)
+
+I have locally made such a build and successfully use it in production
+for building the software for my AVR cpus (attached my specfile = 
+attachment 3044).
+
+The reasons why I did not submit my local build are that there are some 
+serious rpmlint warnings (serious at least for cross-avr-binutils: 
+complaints about the use of hardlinks) which I did not manage to get rid 
+of - but also that I did not want to interfere with the work of the 
+maintainer.
