* LUFA uses a lot of advanced features of the AVR-GCC compiler, linker, and surrounding binaries. This can sometimes lead to problems compiling applications if one of these
* features is buggy in the version of the tools used in a build environment. Missing utilities and incorrectly set makefile configuration options can also result in different
* errors being produced when compilation or other operations are attempted. The table below lists a set of commonly encountered errors and their resolutions.
