Oops, there was a stray "with GCC 7.5" that got into my clipboard
there!

I've pushed the attached patch, please test and confirm if it fixes
your problem.

commit 15d649f79d6b6dc336f6a32eec242b652a262a82
Author: Jonathan Wakely <jwakely@redhat.com>
Date:   Thu Mar 25 18:24:37 2021

    libstdc++: Declare malloc for freestanding
    
    For a target with none of aligned_alloc, memalign etc. we defined our
    own aligned_alloc using malloc, so we need a declaration of malloc. As
    in libsupc++/new_op.cc we need to declare it ourselves for freestanding
    environments.
    
    libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
    
            * libsupc++/new_opa.cc [!_GLIBCXX_HOSTED]: Declare malloc.

The attached patch adds a new _GLIBCXX_NO_SLEEP configure macro which
should get defined for your hosted AVR build. That should mean that
std::this_thread::sleep_for is not defined, and src/c++11/thread.cc
will no longer insist on some way to sleep being supported.

I've only tested this on powerpc64le-linux, so please let me know if
it works for you.

Pushed to master.

commit 0aa1786d34b891c8e1e219fb11255af5358013c4
Author: Jonathan Wakely <jwakely@redhat.com>
Date:   Wed Dec 9 16:53:18 2020

    libstdc++: Fix build failure for target with no way to sleep
    
    In previous releases the std::this_thread::sleep_for function was only
    declared if the target supports multiple threads. I changed that
    recently in r11-2649-g5bbb1f3000c57fd4d95969b30fa0e35be6d54ffb so that
    sleep_for could be used single-threaded. But that means that targets
    using --disable-threads are now required to provide some way to sleep.
    This breaks the build for (at least) AVR when trying to build a hosted
    library.
    
    This patch adds a new autoconf macro that is defined when no way to
    sleep is available, and uses that to suppress the sleeping functions in
    std::this_thread.
    
    The #error in src/c++11/thread.cc is retained for the case where there
    is no sleep function available but multiple threads are supported. This
    is consistent with previous releases, but that #error could probably be
    removed without any consequences.
    
    libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
    
            * acinclude.m4 (GLIBCXX_ENABLE_LIBSTDCXX_TIME): Define NO_SLEEP
            if none of nanosleep, sleep and Sleep is available.
            * config.h.in: Regenerate.
            * configure: Regenerate.
            * include/std/thread [_GLIBCXX_NO_SLEEP] (__sleep_for): Do
            not declare.
            [_GLIBCXX_NO_SLEEP] (sleep_for, sleep_until): Do not
            define.
            * src/c++11/thread.cc [_GLIBCXX_NO_SLEEP] (__sleep_for): Do
            not define.
