The mismatch in directorty number is confusing, and it happened for
unfortunate historical reasons.
If you use GCC 3.2.3 you need the files from the gcc-3.3 directory. If
you use the current GCC, you need the files from the gcc-current
directory. I think these are supposed to work with GCC-3.4 and the
GCC-4.0 beta. Dmitry would have to give a definitive answer to that.
There are no up to date files to patch GCC 3.3, or anything earlier than
GCC 3.2.3, for MSP430 support. My recommendation is to use GCC 3.2.3 and
the files from the gcc-3.3 directory.

We consider the GCC 3.3 support obsolete, and have not updated it for
a long time. GCC 3.3 just never really worked well for anything but
x86. The two actively maintained directories in CVS are gcc-3.3 (i.e.
for GCC 3.2.3) and gcc-current. I would recomment using gcc-3.2.3. It
may be fairly old, but it works very well.
this doesn't make sense... gcc-3.3 is obsolete, yet the maintained
version is gcc-3.3? :) There is no gcc-3.2 on the CVS site, it lists
3.0, 3.1, 3.3, 3.4 and current. I previously download and installed 3.4
(which I understand is actually 3.3 !)
One might understand why I'm confused!
However, I have gotten more of a clue now, and the gcc-current has
the files with the 1611 support. I checked that out, so do I just
copy over the "current" files to replace the 3.3 files (like I did
with the 3.4, as was told to do in the README-INSTALL file), and reconfig
and remake the gcc ?
I really can't mess up the working system I have, so I'm trying to be
careful.
Thanks,
Kelly
