I'm doing the work in local git repositories that are mirrors of the official GNU binutils and gcc ones. I'd been reluctant to push them to sourceforge because of size, but in the end I think that's the right solution.
The status is that I've successfully built applications with hand-crafted linker scripts, and all chip-specific (as opposed to feature-driven) data has been eliminated from binutils and gcc. It's not really ready for anybody else to use; I need some updates from TI, and a way to package the MSP430 binutils scripts, then I can document what I did and why and push things to a repository where people can play. The initial releases will *not* have build script support: you'll need to be able to build and install binutils and gcc and msp430-libc manually. Unfortunately, though People Power is committed to community support and has approved my work on this, there are some short-term deadlines that are impacting how much time I can spend on it this month. I'm fighting to restore mspgcc's priority. Nonetheless, if you can't get ti-20100815 to build with the current mspgcc4 on any reasonable platform, that's something we need to get fixed ASAP. Can you provide more details, here or as a ticket on the mspgcc project (or is there already a ticket I've missed)?
