  msp430 is MCU wit 16-32Kb of ROM and 512-4096 bytes of RAM, so NO
  glibc and even newlib are here:)
  But here is specila libc. It is not a problem -- I've compiled
  toolchain under FreeBSD without any problem.

  I don't sure, that it is correct. As many people explain me,
  collect2 is target-depended, not host-depended, so, may be it is
  incorrect to remove collect2. I've ported it to mingw32 already :))
