I just ran into this issue on macOS and thought I would open an issue just in case others have it too. When using the default avr-gcc (8.2.0) that's installed with homebrew, I get the following output when running make plaid:default:program:

I found a similar issue mentioned on Reddit and was able to work around it in the same way, by installing avr-gcc version 7.
Maybe this would be worth mentioning in the Firmware section of the docs? I'd be happy to add a section for it and open a pull request, just let me know if that would be helpful.
