That's the toolchain from back when avr32 was first integrated in the
kernel. So it may be outdated, but I didn't read any statement on
the contrary. I tend to keep the toolchains stable as long as
possible.

So how can I get notified if I need a more recent toolchain?
IMHO every architecture should have a file somewhere (in
the kernel tree) where the required toolchain versions are
listed and required patches are linked. That would make it
such discussions unnecessary.
