Forgive me if I don't know the correct terminology. There are 2 external simulators available for the AVR, both work with GDB and both are incomplete. What is desperately needed is a simulator that is "integrated" (?) with GDB (just like all the other, normal simulators) and is robust enough to run the GCC test suite. This would have an enormous impact on the ability of the AVR target in GCC to stay up to date and to test new improvements in that port that are trying to get online.
