avr-gcc bug resolved, but requires higher release version

Hi everyone,

I don't know where to place this so I just posted here knowing the GNU guys will see it.

I'm programming Arduinos and converted to ArchLinux some three months now. My arduino source was working fine on windows, but now I can't compile it on ArchLinux. I've done a bit of digging with regards to the error and everything is explained with by the experts:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49764
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737449

It seems that the bug has been fixed as of 4.6.2, but Arch is distributing 4.6.1. Might I know if the 4.6.2 version of avr-gcc will be distributed soon? I don't have a problem using a Windows machine for debugging and uploading my sketches, despite the inconvenience.

Cheers,
Jay

PS:
I noticed quite a few clamors about this from some years back as well. I'm not sure how to react to them as the issue seems the same. (Implementation issue of some component of avr-gcc)

You could use the gcc-avr-svn package in AUR until that happens

Given there is not a gcc-4.6.2 release yet... you will need to wait for that to happen.
