Yes, then replicating my local bricolage into cauldron looks like an adequate solution. I just verified: the packages still build without throwing errors (but now additionally need lib64mpfr-devel and lib64mpc-devel as BuildRequires). But: don't we have release-freeze since April 7? An alternative would be to pick this up as a bugfix for bugzilla 7825 once Mageia 3 is out (I guess that policy allows to bring in new upstream releases in such a case) - a pity we did not discuss this earlier.

And no, I don't think that I am a good candidate for the maintainer: I am not a compiler virtuoso, and 76 is too close to system freeze, better find somebody younger (but I do what I can to help out).

avr-libc-1.7.1-3.mga still works ok. I just saw that 1.8.0 has been released in January and would certainly be of interest since it adds support for new processors. Given release freeze that probably would mean a backport after the release.
