Best to submit this to the gcc project; it's certainly not something that
would be added through mspgcc.
int20_t was an enhancement I thought useful since the MSP430 CPUX
architecture enables it, but I don't have reason to believe other MSP430
toolchains (including the upcoming RH GCC) will recognize it. Native
support for it on CPUX still requires 32-bits when it's written to memory,
though, and that wouldn't change since its inherent in the way the
instruction set works.
