the doc from
http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/manual/c1685.html
and
http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/manual/x1746.html
states to install binutils-2,14
However, latest patches are not in 2.14, neither are they in 2.17
The manual could say something like:
Checkout the patch from cvs (-l option to avoid recursive checkout)
cvs co -l binutils
Modify the patch so that it patches the proper binutils (in my case
binutils-2.17), that is replace
binutils-060402
and
binutils-060402.patched
by
binutils-2.17
Apply the patch
/usr/local/msp430/src/$ patch -p0 <
binutils/binutils-14x1-20x1-20x2-20x3-22x4-42x-42x0-461x.patch
This has worked out quite well for me
