The ebuild for avr-binutils-2.15 does not install the binutils for the avr-platform in /usr/avr/bin as avr-gcc expects. The result is that avr-gcc will try to run /usr/bin/as and /usr/bin/ld when it compiles code for the avr-platform. The easy fix is to remove the line that says "rm ${D}/usr/avr/bin" from the ebuild (but why was this inserted in the first place?)
