binutils-041025 built for the msp430 includes these entries in the list
of MCUs:
msp430xG437
msp430xG438
msp430xG439
When I specified the mcu as msp430xG439 it built a binary which looks OK.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your help. I was indeed running an older version of
binutils. I just updated that to what looks like the latest snapshot
binutils-041025. I also have gcc-3.3.4 running on my redhat 9 linux box.
My test still returns a longer list of MCU names but the FG439 is
still not supported. Do I also need the latest gcc (ie 3.4.2) or
perhaps I don't have the correct binutils? I haven't had the best
track record with gcc updrades in the past so I'm a little wary here.
Help -- What versions do I need exactly to support the latest msp430
MCUs.
Once again, thanks for your help.

Hi Sylvia,
You gave the version of io.h you have, but not the versions of GCC
and binutils, or the platform you run them on. The message you get
indicates you are using a binutils which goes not have FG439 support.
Use a recent snapshot of binutils from sources.redhat.com, and you
will have FG439 support. Don't worry tooo much about using a
snapshot. The maintainers keep them very stable. Now we have binutils
support integrated into the main binutils tree we do not maintain it
in our own CVS. We just pass patches to the guys at Redhat. The
downside of this is formal releases of binutils with support for
newer devices is very slow.
