I would suggest:
binutils 2.16.1
gcc 3.4.5
avr-libc 1.4.2
avrdude (whatever the latest is)

uisp is not very well maintained any more, and avrdude should contain 
all features that are found in uisp. Plus avrdude works on Linux, 
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Mac OS X, and Windows. So I would suggest that you 
drop uisp all together.
