Well, generally speaking it just not going to work. I do not remember,
if it concerns only the extended memory, or there are some general
problems too. But I tried to use the mspgcc-x branch about a month ago,
there were a bunch of problems, i.e. some problems with linking the
firmware because of typo in CRT.  And even after I fixed some obvious
problems, there was  still no way to make the firmware run.

The main branch in general is also broken for 54XX: the wrong registers
definitions in the headers (some guys here sent the patches, but they
are not in CVS so far). Hardcoded and wrong MPY-s registers and I could
not patch the libraries to produce correct code for multiplication.

There is hard to point to some specific problems because there are a few
chances that the generated firmware will work proper at all. I managed
to migrate to Rowley first, and wine + cce later in order to accomplish
the project.
