If anyone's interested, I have since found this page
http://jmanton.wordpress.com/2010/08/08/compiling-avr-gcc-toolchain-from-scratch/
which, apart from the GCC configure command line changes to add Ada support from
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/avr-ada/index.php?title=Setup
is probably what I should have done.

It includes the patch to add support for the missing devices, hence avoids the
difficulty I had with avr-libc 1.70.
