Answering my own question here, partly... I re-built mspgcc4, and discovered my commands were correct, and I was able to get debugging to work using the gdb included with it.
The problem was apparently in the newer gdb, or how I was pulling the sources, or how I was building it. If anyone can provide a correct build procedure I would be grateful! -p.
