Hello Uwe,

I wasn't even aware that lua can run the little AVR.

The XNUT-105 is one of my boards, so I checked using gcc 4.3.3 
(WinAVR-20100110) against Nut/OS 5.0 and 5.1 and the SVN Trunk with 
following results:

xnut-105c.conf: all examples compile
xnut-105d.conf: all examples compile
xnut-100.conf: all examples compile

Is it just this one conf file which fails for you or are there other AVR 
boards which fail as well?

As Harald said the overflow by 58912 bytes is unusually large.

Cheers,

Henrik
