I was asking about your ultimate goal of AVR support in LLD, not the goal
of this particular patch. After a long journey, what do you think LLD AVR
support will be able to do?

Sorry for my negligence, but I don't really know much about AVR and the
Dylan's fork. So I wanted to know the whole picture of AVR support. For
example, do you want to support just bare-bone programs? Or ,do you want to
eventually create a Unix-like OS on AVR which supports dynamic linking? Or
something else?
