Thanks for your answer. Eventually, I was able to run my program in MSPSIM without any errors. msp430-gdb still crashes (under Windows Vista, at least). There is no way for me to use "step" as you say, since the debugger crashes as soon as I give a command. Fortunately, MSPSIM worked for me. The reason my program did not work in MSPSIM initially was that the linker had not inserted the start-up code and the vector table. The MSPGCC online manual says that the linker adds that stuff automatically based on the type of device specified in the mmcu parameter, but in my case the linker does not add anything at all. I solved that problem by adding the individual libraries and the crt* file to the linker's command line. So my problem is now solved, but the reason the linker does not find the "memory.x" file and does not automatically add the start-up code as the manual says is still a mystery to me.
