undefined reference to `pgm_read_ptr_near' in moat.c

[drtrigon]

When executing $ make CFG=project.cfg try1 I do get:

device/try1/moat.o: In function `moat_read':
/home/osboxes/owslave/moat.c:120: undefined reference to `pgm_read_ptr_near'
/home/osboxes/owslave/moat.c:127: undefined reference to `pgm_read_ptr_near'
/home/osboxes/owslave/moat.c:137: undefined reference to `pgm_read_ptr_near'
device/try1/moat.o: In function `moat_write':
/home/osboxes/owslave/moat.c:182: undefined reference to `pgm_read_ptr_near'
/home/osboxes/owslave/moat.c:185: undefined reference to `pgm_read_ptr_near'
device/try1/moat.o:/home/osboxes/owslave/moat.c:199: more undefined references to `pgm_read_ptr_near' follow

and the compile fails. I found smurfix/owslave#10 (comment) and #2 (comment). Has the workaround for too-old avr/pgmspace.h been implemented somewhere meanwhile? Also I assume this "M-o-a-T" repo is the most recent one, right? (and not the "smurfix" one)

My installed software:

osboxes@osboxes:~/owslave$ avr-gcc --version
avr-gcc (GCC) 4.8.2
osboxes@osboxes:~/owslave$ uname -a
