Thanks. I added the nutshell and link to your new MSP430 site to the MSPGCC
wiki. FWIW, your site's comments on uniarch aren't entirely correct:
mspgcc4 is end-of-life, mspgcc is again primary, and the starry-eyed goal is
to ultimately push the msp430 back end upstream to gcc and binutils.

I don't understand this. make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS=msp430.exp should show
that the tests either pass or fail. There is no other "running" of tests.
(At this stage of a bootstrap build as currently documented, msp430mcu is
not installed, so the required files for non-relocatable linking are not
available.)
I did not do the steps in the maintenance area. Can someone explain

The steps involved in creating /msp430/maint allow you to access the
maintenance area, which includes descriptions of the repositories and
scripts used to do whole system builds and prepare distributions. Though
these are git branches in each repository, they are completely unrelated to
the package sources, so checking them out in the same workspace is
inconvenient. As you surmised, you don't need them to just install the
system.
