Florian made some comments about a patch in progress in a different thread.
I've seen a branch in svn that is over 3 years old with changes that seem
to do mostly what I want.  I'm not familiar with the makefile build
process, hence my question.  At the moment the modifications I made (to
Florian's code) seems to work for my use case (AVR, build from source, no
install), but I want to test all use cases including zipinstall and
install, but I am not sure what the expected output should be.  Also there
is some complication with fpmake overriding some makefile settings in
rtl-extra, this was not covered by Florians modifications.
