Can't help you here, I haven't found any good GPL EDA program.

If you mean compiling gcc/binutils/libc for avr you can just follow the
instructions at

According to the help output uisp should be able to do that, but I don't
have an STK500 so I haven't actually tried it. It at least works like a

gdb should work but I haven't tried it so I don't know. As for a
simulator you could have a look at
