I'm using Yagarto. The latest version that produces working binaries is 4.6.0. The later 4.7.2 creates more compact but non working code. I never had luck with any version of CodeSourcery. It used to produce more compact code than the official GCC with the same version number but obviously introduces some bugs, at least for the Atmel processor in the 20b/30b. I suspect that these optimizations were added to the official GCC later, creating the same problems. So we're stuck with 4.6.0.

Is it immediately obvious in your experience if a binary is not working well? Or do you know of a way to verify it quite reliably? Or is it really tricky to check?
