Description

@sprintersb

As you are building avr-gcc with quite some patches, please configure the compiler with

--with-bugurl=https://github.com/arduino/toolchain-avr/issues

or similar.

There are quite some cases where the Arduino toolchain is malfunctioning and bugs are reported to the GCC bug tracker instead of to the Arduino tracker.

PR87695 and its many duplicates(?) is just one example. Apart from using the wrong bug tracker, all of these bugs have been reported in a form that cannot be reproduced, i.e. GCC bug reporting instructions are ignored, even after they have been pointed out. One reason is the very complicated Arduino build process where it is impossible for the average user to prepare a reproducing test case as required for the GCC bug tracker.

Apart from that, the Arduino bug reports generally require the Arduino environment, which not a concern of GCC.

Apart from that, it might be helpful to have a documentation that describes how to transform a problem with the Arduino toolchain to a proper GCC bug report.

Once the Arduino maintainers have verified that it's an actual GCC issue, then the GCC guys will gladly accept proper bug reports.

Best regards.
