There seems to be inconsistency between the map file and the sizes reported by msp430-size. In a current project using an MSP430F149, msp430-size shows
msp430-size ccas.elf text data bss dec hex filename 18620 12 1570 20202 4eea ccas.elf In the map file, excerpted values: .data 0x00000200 0xc load address 0x0000599c ... 0x0000020c _edata = . ... .bss 0x0000020c 0x59a 0x0000020c PROVIDE (__bss_start, .) ... 0x000007a6 PROVIDE (__bss_end, .) 0x000007a6 _end = . .noinit 0x000007a6 0x0 0x000007a6 PROVIDE (__noinit_start, .) *(.noinit) *(COMMON) 0x000007a6 PROVIDE (__noinit_end, .) ... 0x00000a00 PROVIDE (__stack, 0xa00) This shows the .data size as 0xc or decimal 12, consistent with the report from msp430_size, and the .bss size as 0x59a or decimal 1434, in contrast to the reported 1570 in msp430_size. I can't find anything else in the map file to account for the discrepancy. I've been assuming the stack can occupy the space between __noinit_end and __stack. When one has only 2k of RAM, an error of 136 in the space available for the stack is quite important.
