Writing Flash from GDB fails about avarice HOT 3 CLOSED

Nice, I managed to recompiled avr-gdb with the --with-expat configuration option, and the resulting AVR-GDB binary then correctly sends the data to AVaARICE with the right block size, flashing it :)

The more complicated memory layouts used by MCUs basically require that you use the XML stuff to describe them.
Consequently, without enabling expat in GDB, there's no chance to upload memory contents.

I see, then it makes more sense to require XML support for avr-gdb when flashing is supposed to be done via AVaRICE instead of patching AVaRICE.
