To those interested:
I think I've figured out how to build mspgcc on OS X 10.2.
The problem is apparently with Apple's C preprocessor, which supports
precompiled headers. According to the Apple GCC manpage, their
preprocessor doesn't handle some constructs that the pure GNU
preprocessor does. So, they have an option to disable it:
-no-gcc-precomp. This option causes Apple's GCC to use the GNU version
of CPP.
Adding this option to the compile command for binutils and gcc did the
trick. To configure binutils and GCC, I used:
CC='gcc -no-cpp-precomp' --target=msp430 --prefix=/usr/local/msp430
Other than the CC variable, everything else is identical to the build
instructions on the web page. I just now compiled msp430-libc with nary
a complaint.
I haven't tried GDB yet, but I expect the same rule will apply.
Anybody up for making a Fink package now? ;-D
