It Works For Me (TM) on my lenny system. It has bash-3.2.39 but a simple
wrapper pretending to be bash-4.0 makes configure happy here.

Hmmm. Something is deeply screwed, then. Sigh... :-(
Care to try attached patch? It should fix all --with-foo options.

I'm still interested to understand why configure can't find bash.
I'll see if I can setup a qemu with a testing in it this WE, but
I'd really appreciate if you could try to see through this...

Yes, support for avr has just made it into crosstool-NG, but it's hidden
behind the EXPERIMENTAL option; be sure to activate it, or avr will not
be available. Also, EXPERIMENTAL really means that: it is experimental
support! Good luck, and report success/failure, please! :-)
