Building Toolchain
Make sure you have Xcode installed (for GCC et al)
Download the toolchain and bunutils:
$ git clone git://mspgcc4.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/mspgcc4/mspgcc4
Fix to use Curl and current binutils version:
Change line 65 of mspgcc4/do-binutils.sh: substitute 'wget -c' for 'curl -O' (that's a capital letter o).
Change line 136 in mspgcc4/buildgcc.pl to: $BINUTILS_VERSION = "2.21.1";
