That's no problem - I was also harsh, because my sore spot was triggered. I feel very strongly about being able to control exact release versions of toolchain releases (gcc, binutils, library), and that people should be able to easily get older and newer releases at any time, for any system, and know that matching release versions will produce the same object code on any host system. The idea of putting an embedded compiler as something like /usr/bin/msp430-gcc (or "c:\Program Files\msp430-gcc\bin\msp430-gcc.exe") gives me the shivers - it makes things easier for a newbie or amateur, but is worse than useless for a serious or professional developer. I fully understand that as a fan of a minority-user OS, you have to fight for your right to use the software you want on the OS you want - and that the best way is aim for common *nix compatible source code.
