The avr-gcc 4.9.2 in IDE 1.6.13 does still not know about the ATTiny 4/5/9/10/20 Reduced Core TinyAVR chips.

The official avr-gcc 4.9.2 does

I think the problem is that the build process isn't bringing in the "avrtiny" gcc core for some reason. I can't see a configuration option readily, maybe this is a discrepancy with the GPL released sources not matching the Atmel (Microchip) build of gcc?

Official Build

avr8-gnu-toolchain-linux_x86_64$ ./bin/avr-gcc --target-help | grep avrtiny
               avrtiny   - AVR Tiny core with 16 gp registers

avrtiny:

IDE 1.6.13 Build

arduino-1.6.13/hardware/tools/avr$ ./bin/avr-gcc --target-help  | grep avrtiny

It seems that building avr-gdb nukes the avrtiny chips.

Doing a grep for "avtiny" in the objdir before and after...

Eureka! make install in gdb.build.bash needs to be make install-gdb

For the reason we can look in the official build script

task_start "Installing GDB for $1... "
 # New versions of gdb share the same configure/make scripts with binutils. Running make install-gdb to
 # install just the gdb binaries.
 make $PARALLEL_JOBS install-gdb > make.install.out 2>&1 || task_error "Installing GDB for $1 failed. See make.install.out." "make.install.out"

In short, make install for (avr-)gdb will also install another, older, version of binutils, which doesn't have the proper support for the avrtiny (4/5/9/10 etc Reduced Core TinyAVR) in it.

sleemanj added a commit to sleemanj/toolchain-avr that referenced this issue Dec 2, 2016
@sleemanj
Install gdb only instead of also pulling in it's (old) binutils over …
5ac0743 
…the top of the one we already compiled.
