Have you tried to change the path to "avr-gcc" in the Eclipse 
Preferences? (Preferences -> AVR -> Paths)

The Plugin prepends the path to "avr-gcc" and the path to "make", in 
that order, to the system path.
This is mainly for Windows, as both executables are not necessarily on 
the System path and especially with 'make' there might be non-gnu 
versions of make in the path, causing confusion for newbies.

But this is also useful on Linux for changing to a different Toolchain 
not located in the system path, something I think you are trying to do.

Haven't seen that effect before. Could you please copy and paste the 
content of the console window? Maybe I can decipher whats happening on 
your system.
