The two actively maintained directories in CVS are gcc-3.3 (i.e. for

may be fairly old, but it works very well.
Are there any plans on getting MSPGCC working with GCC 4.0? Would there
be some advantages in GCC 4.0 having Tree SSA merged in? Sounds to me
like a rather architecture independent way to improve optimisation
routines as it happens before RTL representation.
Also, would it not be easier to merge MSP430 support to GCC mainline?
Just as is with binutils already. Are there some restrictions why this
can't be done?
The goal of gcc-current is to try to keep up with GCC development, and
get the MSP430 support into the main tree. Dmitry tried and failed
before. If you can catch the GCC development cycle at the right point,
you don't get in. GDB support also needs to catch up with the
mainstream, and be merged. There seems no equivalent central repository
for the headers and support libraries that go with GCC, so it seems a
separate libc for MSPGCC will always be needed.

Steve
