Bug Description
I just upgraded to Bionic and noticed that the avr cross compiler is still gcc 5.4.0. The release notes for upstream gcc show a various AVR backend improvements over the years; consider upgrading to gcc 8.1.0.

Would be great if an upgrade could happen in time for Ubuntu 19.10. Failing that, what is involved in building/compiling avr-gcc?
