I had a look at this last option, but I miss knowledge to keep on with
it: as I could guess, the current gcc-avr package is based on a frozen
archive of gcc-4.8, which is modified by adding subtle modifications.
Obviously, I can freeze an archive of gcc-5, but I cannot craft the
modifications to turn it into an efficient compiler for avr.

So I shall reassign bug #790103 to gcc-avr, and keep the suggested link
to expeyes.
As a matter of fact, I cannot push the severity such a bugreport higher
than whishlist, as I cannot provide any help about the work to be done.

Best regards,                   Georges.
