msp430mcu in its current form will almost certainly not work with the new compiler, unless somebody's forked it without telling me. The headers get mspgcc-specific material added, and the linker scripts are for the mspgcc version of gdb. It would make sense to have msp430mcu be the mechanism

What's the current word on the msp430 variant header files and corresponding linker scripts? Is there a plan to release those soon? If not, has anyone testing been done of the compiler against Peter's linker scripts and header files? Thomas Taranowski | 425-442-9209 | skype: thomas.taranowski |

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but this only applies when the initialisation involves a constructor function rather than just assignment of a fixed value. Correct. are all run before main() is called. These might add extra code space because the constructor calls can't be fully inlined
