OK, I basically started a fresh install directory, and got all the

for the x1611 chip. Thanks for all the assistance.
Now my issue is the newer gdbproxy takes forever to download the flash,
it seems about 4-8 times slower (15 seconds vs 90 seconds) than the
previous one. With an 8k device, it's painful but tolerable, but with
a 48k device, this isn't very productive.. I recall this was an issue
before. If you want to reply "search the archives", I will be doing
just that right now.

Newer versions of the TI library for driving the JTAG port are much
slower at writing the flash. There is also a big, seemingly random,
variation in speed. When you go round the compile-test-compile-test loop
a few times, some writes are much faster than others. You can see this
when using other toolhains, such as IAR or AQ430. However, GDB writes
the flash in many small blocks, and this makes the effect more severe.
If you set GDB to use larger blocks the problem is not so bad. You can
find how to do that in the archive. :-)
