Hi,

WinAVR is kind of old (2010) and the included avr-gcc and avr-libc have progressed since.

Especially the avr-libc 1.6.7 that comes with WinAVR has a delay-related bug that has been solved since.

I had a build-related problem with hasu's tmk software that could be fixed by updating to the newest AVR Toolchain found on this page (scroll down to AVR Toolchain). This affected reading a ps/2 device in INT and USART modes.

Installing the new toolchain: I moved these eight folders from the WinAVR directory to a temporary one: avr, avr32, bin, doc, lib, libexec, share, source. Then I installed the new toolchain directly into the WinAVR directory.

Many thanks to hasu for helping me with my questions and supplying test builds for comparison.
