You need to update your toolset.

Don't use the AVR Freaks distribution, its out-of-date. Use the 
WinAVR distribution: <http://sourceforge.net/projects/winavr>

When you install WinAVR, it contains a README.txt file that explains 
how to set up the toolset to use AVR Studio 3. But why use it?

It also comes with Programmers Notepad 2, and editor / IDE, which can 
call command-line tools and capture their output better than AVR 
Studio 3 can (you don't have to use gcc.bat and company).

WinAVR also contains a lot of other things. See its home page: 
<http://winavr.sourceforge.net/>
