I managed to get the new tool chain for Iris working on Debian Etch. Here is
the info if someone else is interested

Grab source rpms from
http://www.isis.vanderbilt.edu/Projects/NEST/tinyos-2.x-iris/tools/release/external-tools/and
build them with rpmbuild. For example,

rpmbuild --rebuild avr-binutils-2.17-1.src.rpm

Convert the generated rpms with alien

alien --to-deb /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/i386/avr-binutils-2.17-1.rpm

and install with dpkg

dpkg -i avr-binutils_2.17-1.deb
