I'm using FET430IF from TI.
To be precise, noICe is more stable than gdb-insight or gdb-eclipse combos.
GDB frontends show absolutely creasy behavior on my computer like I'd
have to reprogram the chip twice before it stops on a break point or the
gdbproxy would continue reading memory and never stop.
ELF support is reasonable. I've hit a couple of problems, but got a fix
for them.
Sometimes there are problems with wrong recognition of variable types,
but at least I can see variables ;-)
DWARF would be a much better option, of couse.
I think you can get a trial version of this debugger of the same website.
Which jtag interface H/W are you using?

If you find noICE more stable than gdb, is their ELF support good enough
that you are still using the mspgcc compiler?

It is not free, but I find it far more stable than anything based
on gdb (insight or eclipse, for example)
