Excellent!

Let me know if there is anyway I can help you get these patches upstream...

Hmn. Roughly, assuming you have a mspgcc4 area that has the ports subdirectory, cd to it and run:

patch -p1 < msp430-r4.20100210-chipcat.patch

patch is a pretty standard unix command that you should have on any Unix/Linux installation. The -p1 says to strip off one level of the path names from within the patch, which are in the diff lines like:

diff --git a/ports/gcc-4.x/gcc/config/msp430/generate_chip_data.py b/ports/gcc-4.x/gcc/config/msp430/generate_chip_data.py

Then do a build as normal. Make sure that the build process unpacks the gcc sources and applies the patches from the port directory.

    Thank you very much!

    a dumb question...

    how do I apply these patches (roughly)?

    The patch is too big for this mailing list.  I've uploaded a copy
    to:
    
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mspgcc4/files/Patches/msp430-r4.20100210-chipcat.patch

    It's also available within the SRPM.

        Yes, it is probably due to hardware multiply.  I can
        replicate the problem on an older install, but it's fixed
        with one built from the SRPMs I posted which include a patch
        for hardware multiply.  I haven't had time to integrate that
        with the mainline developers; a copy is attached.

                I just tried to use strotl() on the msp430f5437.  It
                failed and I tracked the problem down to a problem
                with multiply.  Check this out:


                         register unsigned long int tmp1 = i;
                         unsigned long int tmp2 = i;
                         long int tmp3 = i;
                         int tmp4 = i;
                         printf("i %lx tmp1 %lx tmp2 %lx tmp3 %lx
                tmp4 %x\n",i,tmp1,tmp2,tmp3,tmp4);
                         tmp1 = tmp1 * base;
                         tmp2 = tmp2 * base;
                         tmp3 = tmp3 * base;
                         tmp4 = tmp4 * base;
                         printf("i %lx tmp1 %lx tmp2 %lx tmp3 %lx
                tmp4 %x\n",i,tmp1,tmp2,tmp3,tmp4);

                i 0 tmp1 0 tmp2 0 tmp3 0 tmp4 0
                i 0 tmp1 3fff3fff tmp2 3fff3fff tmp3 3fff3fff tmp4 0


                Any advice how to proceed with debugging this?  Is
this a problem with usage of hardwarde multiplier?
