At this point the only thing that I don't have working is the GDB check tests.
I'll drill down on that next. If I can't get that working I'll look into
splitting the package. Remember when I said I have enough disk space? Turns out
I don't have that either...

That was my understanding as well, though it was noted it "shouldn't
matter"[0]. Ultimately, even if I did get them working, it wouldn't match what
TI ships and is discussed on the TI forums.
