Note that nesC does not require that you use our distribution of
avr-gcc. If you want to use your own, just make sure it's in your
path. TinyOS platforms specify the gcc version to use in the
".platform" file found in each platform's directory
(tos/platforms/mica2/.platform, e.g.) - look for the gcc=... line in
one of those files.

If you are using cygwin, and a gcc compiled for a non-cygwin
environment (e.g., WinAVR), then you'll need to add a -mingw-gcc
option in the .platform file (this tells the nesC compiler to convert
cygwin paths to windows paths). Note that I haven't tested this option
recently...

PS: Use a recent version of nesC - earlier ones specified the name of
the gcc compiler in two places.
