The guidelines are not bogus on this subject.

avr-libc's *.a's and *.h's are not host files, they are target files.
The rpmlint warning is bogus.

Also consider all packages of the avr-toolchain are devel packages.

These dirs must be owned by all packages using them. Anything else is
technically wrong.

Exactly this is the point.
