I'm in a similar situation except in my case I'm trying to set up a tool 
chain for Linux. From what I know, you need to build and install binutils 
for AVR first and then the compiler. Once those are in place you can build 
avr-libc.

The output from ./configure which you included in your message indicates 
you don't have the binutils package installed. Your comments indicate you 
are also missing the compiler which you indicate when you stated you 
couldn't find a source file for avr-gcc.

From what I have learned, AVR support is available in the official sources 
of binutils and gcc. Grab the official sources and specify --target=avr 
when you run the configure stage for these two packages. At least, that is 
what I have done so far.

After you have binutils and gcc packages for avr installed you may or may 
not have the same problem I ran in to where avr-libc fails during the 
configure step. In my case it seems to run some a test involving 
compilation which fails due to its claim about missing support for the avr2 
architecture.
