First: are you executing avr-gdb, and not just gdb? Is it executing the correct 
version?

If yes, and yes, then this sounds like some BFD issue (which is a part of 
binutils). Can you build the AVR port of binutils first, then build avr-gdb? 
Make sure that the installation of the AVR port of binutils is in your PATH 
when you build avr-gdb.
