Hmm, I guess I don't see how. AFAIK, there is no
MSP430-specific linker script syntax nor any MSP430 specific
memory sections/segment handling in binutils. The question is
how to tell the linker about a set of non-contiguous memory
areas and then ask it to put a set of input modules into that
set of areas. It's a general binutils feature question.

And I'd be happy to help, as I'm sure would the rest of the
list's readers. I'm just saying that the experts on how ld
works are on the binutils list. He's welcome to ask binutils
questions here, but he's much more likely to get useful and
authoritative answers on the binutils mailing list.
