avr-gcc refusing to link against avr-libc in Fedora 23

[spike]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get avr-gcc to link against library that I built (which is just the
arduino core library):

avr-gcc -Wl,-Map,ArduinoTest.map -mmcu=atmega328p -o "ArduinoTest.elf"  ./main.o
  -l/home/spike/workspaceAVR/libarduino/328P_16MHz/liblibarduino.a
/usr/lib/gcc/avr/4.9.3/../../../../avr/bin/ld: cannot find
-l/home/spike/workspaceAVR/libarduino/328P_16MHz/liblibarduino.a

alghough: ls -lah /home/spike/workspaceAVR/libarduino/328P_16MHz/liblibarduino.a 
-rw-rw-r-- 1 spike spike 56K 28. Jul 03:50
/home/spike/workspaceAVR/libarduino/328P_16MHz/liblibarduino.a

Yes, the 'liblib' is a bit of a screw up on my side, it's late here, can't
be bothered at the moment. Rest assured that the paths and filenames are correct. :)

Could it be that the current avr-gcc that's in Fedora 23 (and it seems also in 24 and
rawhide) is just not playing nicely with the (apparently pretty ancient) avr-libc version?
Something was mentioned here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31740435/cannot-compile-and-link-avr-p...
We're on version 1.8.0 in Fedora 23 and 24 and apparently version 1.8.1 has been
released in 2014 and version 2.0.0 has been out since 02/2016. Any chance, there's an
update for me to try out somewhere without having to recompile avr-libc myself?

Cheers!
