+Yes, then replicating my local bricolage into cauldron looks like an 
+adequate solution. I just verified: the packages still build without 
+throwing errors (but now additionally need lib64mpfr-devel and 
+lib64mpc-devel as BuildRequires). But: don't we have release-freeze 
+since April 7? An alternative would be to pick this up as a bugfix for 
+bugzilla 7825 once Mageia 3 is out (I guess that policy allows to bring 
+in new upstream releases in such a case) - a pity we did not discuss 
+this earlier.
+
+And no, I don't think that I am a good candidate for the maintainer: I 
+am not a compiler virtuoso, and 76 is too close to system freeze, better 
+find somebody younger (but I do what I can to help out).

+avr-libc-1.7.1-3.mga still works ok. I just saw that 1.8.0 has been 
+released in January and would certainly be of interest since it adds 
+support for new processors. Given release freeze that probably would 
+mean a backport after the release.
