[En-Nut-Discussion] Test-builds of 4.1.9rc2 on different compiler verions

[Ernst Stippl]

Hi All!

I built 4.1.9rc2 today with different WinAVR and WinARM versions. Everything
went fine.
The results are on www.es-business.com/ethernut
During the weekend, I will build the sample apps and post the results then.

There is no avrgcc version 4.x based WinAVR available. But I found
http://www.atmanecl.com/EnglishSite/indexEnglish.htm#
which has a avrgcc vers 4.1 based package at
http://www.atmanecl.com/EnglishSite/SoftwareEnglish.htm

Using this, I ran into errors (which have been encountered by others, too;
as I found out):

This is the output from Nutconf:

Posts in various forums seem to indicate this error may be related to the
selected optimization level.
