No!  :-)

(but it might work anyway, I haven't tested)

I'm testing against our simulator (it's in the gdb repo).  I've built
a few test apps, mostly blinky lights, for hardware testing, but most
of the hardware testing has been to make sure the simulator is
accurate.

I'm using gcc's testsuite, which is tens of thousands of tests per
multilib, with three multilibs (430, 430x, 430x/large).

If you've been using mspgcc for this, you probably should continue
using it for now, just because it's much more mature and feature-rich.

However, if you want to start testing fsf-gcc with TinyOS, I really
want to hear about anything that doesn't work ;-)
