The mingw cross compiler (in community) seems to install everything into 
/usr/i486-mingw32 but I haven't check thoroughly. 

Why is there a /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu directory and not just a /usr/avr 
given everything used to install to /opt/avr?  One rouge directory would 
be better than two and getting rid of i686-pc-linux-gnu directory would 
be a bonus because that name has nothing to do with avr.
