[SOLVED] How get an older version of avr-gcc?

Hi!

I have a problem with my Arduino Mega 1280 board. Programs running on the board can't send or receive signals through the USB cable, which is a bit irritating. I have read that it's because of a bug in the compiler avr-gcc, version 4.4 - 4.6.0, and I have version 4.6.0 of avr-gcc. Apparently should version 4.3.x of avr-gcc work fine, so I need help with downloading it.

What I have found and downloaded is gcc43 from the AUR. But I'm not completely sure if it's the right package that I need, since it only added files like gcc-4.3 and g++-4.3 to my /usr/bin/ folder, and not an additional avr-gcc file.

So, anyone here who can help me find version 4.3 of avr-gcc?

I got it sorted out thanks to madworm on the Arduino forums. Here is a link to the thread:

I also wrote a blog post about the problem with my Arduino Mega board:
