Order doesn't matter. Build the avr-libc port then avr-gcc and
avr-binutils will also be built as a dependency.

Last I looked (cvsup just a few minutes ago) avr-libc was marked broken
because something in the documentation dependencies won't build. Simple
enough to work around. Comment out the BROKEN= line in
/usr/ports/devel/avr-libc/Makefile then build with:

# cd /usr/ports/devel/avr-libc
# make -DNOPORTDOCS install

A little awkward but bunches better than building by hand.
