Fixes msproul#7 and makes code compatible with later avr-gcc versions.

Hex file compiled with avr-gcc 11.2.0 on FreeBSD.

Just want to add that I've been nearly daily using several MEGAs with this bootloader since my original PR without incident. The one I've been uploading to, I have been averaging 2-3 uploads per week minimum, hitting 10-20+ on busy weeks. I've encountered no issues.
