[avr-chat] binutils, gcc and avr-libc versions

[Bob von Knobloch]

Hi,
I am installing a new OS (openSuse12.3) and thought that I would take 
this opportunity to update my avr tools.
I compiled using:

Binutils        2.23
GCC             4.80
avr-libc        1.80

Now compiling some old projects, gcc (I assume it's gcc) is throwing an 
error (not a warning - and thousands of them) that 'PROGMEM' objects 
need to be delared 'const'.
While this seems to be 'more correct', it seems a large change from 
previous versions.
It leads me to wonder if anyone has used these versions, or is there a 
'preferred' version of gcc (and maybe binutils) to make avr-gcc from?

Many thanks,

Bob von Knobloch
