It looks like you have two versions of msp430-gcc installed (one from 
mspgcc-win32tinyos-20041204-2 and one from 
msp430tools-gcc-3.2.3-20050607).  Older versions of msp430-gcc have bugs 
that can cause compiler crashes with some applications.  Try 
uninstalling the mspgcc-win32tinyos package and seeing if that fixes it.
