4.5-rc1 builds and runs with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n here. It's a fairly minimal config though.

There are patches for gcc 4.4.3 at http://distribute.atmel.no/tools/opensource/avr32-gcc/ The patches apply with only trivial fixes to 4.4.7 as well. I tried forward-porting to something newer, but my knowledge gcc internal voodoo wasn't sufficient.

Even when it builds, it often doesn't work since non-DT support has bitrotted in many drivers.
