README-MAINTAINER.txt mentions compiling with CC=gcc-3.4. On Fedora 7 this needs to be CC=gcc34. mspgcc compiles without errors. With either an old elf file of a fresh compile, msp430-gdb returns the message mk2a01.elf": not in executable format: File format not recognized Does anyone have any thoughts on what is happening or how to proceed?
