For now, try this workaround:

avr-gcc -mmcu=atmega32 -Wl,-m,avrmega161 -Wl,-T,m323.x

where m323.x is a copy of /usr/local/avr/lib/ldscripts/avrmega161.x
edited to increase maximum memory sizes (look at the first few
lines of the file, under MEMORY).

The "avr5" emulation was intended to be for all devices with
enhanced core and >8K of program memory, but I didn't have time
to make the necessary binutils patches, and now ATmega64/128
require a different linker script anyway (internal SRAM starts
at 0x100, not 0x60 - I wonder why Atmel didn't do that from the
start, fewer address bits to decode).

BTW, ATmega32 was renamed to ATmega323, but (just to add more
confusion) I heard there will be ATmega32 too...
