It's a build, and it works, and it has a check step! Settle in and make yourself comfortable before building this one!
It now carries a patch file, 2 actually, to work around issues with the GDB tests. There are actually lots of failures with the GDB tests, so I limited the suite to gdb.base to make it more workable. There were additional issues with GDB ix86 tests, so that carries an additional patch. I think patching conditionally based on architecture is okay? I looked at the tests that were failing, and to my relatively untrained eye I think the failures make sense for an embedded target. There is probably a "cleaner" way to handle it and I'm open to suggestions. The unfortunate reality of "upstream" just throwing tarballs over the wall is there isn't a good place to resolve these issues.
Additionally, unprefixed symlinks to the executables are now made in /usr/msp430-elf/msp430-elf/bin as their presence is expected by the generated msp430-elf-gcc. I don't fully understand why. This eliminates the need for the -B/usr/bin/msp430-elf- compile option, maintaining better compatibility with Makefiles. Again, I'm sure there's a better way but I don't know it.
