Description: This is a Cross Compiling version of GNU GCC, which can be used to
compile for the msp430 platform, instead of for the native i386
platform.

The mspgcc project has maintained patches against gcc 3.2.3 for a long time. 
The documented procedure for installing mspgcc is taking their patches and
applying them against gcc.

I based this on the avr-gcc spec.

One rpmlint warning: 
msp430-gcc.spec:46: W: rpm-buildroot-usage %prep sed -e 's,find
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT,find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%_bindir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%_libexecdir,' $a >
$b

I don't believe this error is fatal.  The script needs to modify the
os_install_post script so that the build system doesn't try to process the
msp430 binaries with the tools for the host's architecture.

Build fails on ppc64 in koji, but succeeds on all the other arches (I shall
attach the error message to this bug shortly).

I'd really appreciate a review of this.  Thanks :-D
