The problem was that msp430-gcc doesn't try and run "msp430-as", it tries
to find "as", and looks in some specific places. Strace shows that it is
looking in:
/usr/local/lib/gcc/msp430/4.5.3/../../../../msp430/bin/
or /usr/local/msp430/bin
My 4.6.2 avr toolchain on the same machine has this directory populated
with copies (not links?!?) of all the binutils binaries plus c++, g++ & gcc
- but without the avr- prefix.
I manually populated the corresponding directory in the msp430 toolchain:
cd /usr/local
sudo mkdir msp430/bin
for i in ar as c++ g++ gcc ld ld.bfd nm objcopy objdump ranlib strip
do
sudo cp bin/msp430-$i msp430/bin/$i
done
And it all seems to work now, or until my next upgrade.
I'm thinking this looks more like a problem with the binutils install not
creating & populating /usr/local/msp430/bin, and gcc not handling that
situation well. My money would be on a corner case in one or both of the
configure scripts that my old system (with pre-installed, old versions of
the tools) triggers.
I guess I should consider putting "DEAR PEOPLE FROM THE FUTURE:" at the top
of this message (http://xkcd.com/979/)
