My intent is that these be archival; I'll muck with metadata like execute
bits and the containing directory name in an attempt to maintain
consistency across releases, but I won't change the content of individual
files.

Nope.  I'm not interested in more things to maintain; my solution for
msp430elf toolchain building is described here:
http://pabigot.github.io/bsp430/msp430elf.html

That page includes a link to the most recent version of my build script
posted here some months ago.  If somebody wants to use that as a basis for
other work, feel free.  I don't think it's got enough creativity to warrant
a copyright and in any case it'd fall under the BSD-3-Clause licensing of
BSP430.
