I just had a problem compiling an old version of the avr-gcc crosscompiler.
It was on a machine that had FC3 on it, and I built the old tools without any problems
on it. I recently put FC4 on the machine and did not bother to keep the avr-gcc binaries.
When I tried to rebuild the old tools I picked up problems. There was some issues with
using gcc4 to build the older tools (avr-gcc 3.4.2). I had to build an older version of gcc.
I used the same gcc 3.4.2 source to build a native gcc 3.4.2. With this I could then build
the avr-gcc 3.4.2 tool chain. I expect that this sort of thing is the major thing you might find.
It is not hardware specfic, but more of a compiler version and OS version issue.
