 Not only that, but you will have bad code.

 Stock FSF 4.3.0 (i.e. unpatched) fails for the AVR target and generates
 wrong code. You will need to have a host of patches for that version to
 have a working AVR port.

 I am planning to do a WinAVR release either today or tomorrow. Shortly
 after that, I will be posting the patches I use for 4.3.0 on the WinAVR
 CVS repository. Andy Hutchinson, Anatoly Sokolov, Dmitry Xmelkov, Joerg
 Wunsch, myself and other users have been working on evaluating and
 fixing all the problems. Hopefully this WinAVR release is successful and
 we can have working code generated from 4.3.0.

 Eric Weddington
