The version of gcc is 3.4.4 (cygming special) (gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)

I get this message in gdb when I do "load test":
"test.elf": not in executable format: File format not recognized

May be you should convert your 'elf' output to (loadable) hex format
with somethin like
                        $(OBJCOPY) -O ihex a.elf a.hex

where $(OBJCOPY) is the path to your msp430-objcopy executable.
