Or, we could have separate environment variables CROSS_AVR_C_INCLUDE_PATH
and CROSS_ARM_C_INCLUDE_PATH. But that sounds like too many environment
variables! :-P

Something like this is possible too.

Agreed.

I don't know. I have asked Danny at bug 24416 to push the patch. Let's
wait for a response.

Once Danny's patch is pushed, I'll open a new bug reporting the arm avr
conflict.

Also, I'm closing this bug report now since this issue is handled by
24416.

Thanks! :-)
