ATTiny85 as a RepeaterNode-just a repeater, no sensors

[Bogus Exception]

Experts,
I have range issues, so I want to use a few ATTiny85s I have to be repeaters.

from the distro:

#define MY_RADIO_NRF24
#define MY_REPEATER_FEATURE
#include <MySensors.h>

void setup(){}

void presentation()
{
	sendSketchInfo("Repeater Node", "1.0");
}

void loop(){}

This appears to be what is needed. Serial is not applicable on stock 85. But burning with 'Arduino as ISP', a TON of compile errors pull up, pointing to internal/lib code. They start like:

This looks a lot like something basic, and not like anything is broken (to me).

If you want the entire ugly STDOUT/ERR, I uploaded to pastebin here.

If folks are using ATTiny85 for sensors, then surely I should be able to make it a simple repeater, no? (please say yes!)
