There is also a newer page from one of the avr-libc maintainers at http://openavr.org/
and the avr-gcc mailing list at http://www.avr1.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-gcc-list/.

I have been using avr-gcc for a while, though not with c++.  It's my understanding
that the c++ compiler itself works, but not all of the supporting libraries compile
(they're really too big for the AVR anyway).  But people have been using it, so it
must not be a show stopper.

Still do. It's the only way if you want it just right.
