Gack! That makefile is from the AVR Freaks distro. Drop it. 
Either use the sample makefile that comes from WinAVR, or 
perhaps use a makefile that comes with one of the examples 
in avr-libc. Either way, you should learn a bit about 
makefiles and the program make. The make user manual can be 
found online, and it also comes in the WinAVR package.

Have you looked on the avr-libc home page? You can find 
binary RPMs for the whole toolset. You don't need to 
necessarily build it yourself.
