I looked at this port because it currently doesn't build on FreeBSD 11 due to
old texi format that the current texinfo package rejects.

I then noticed that the site in pkg-descr doesn't resolve.
Moving to Source Forge, it says the project is "obsolete" and references this
site:

http://www.ti.com/tool/msp430-gcc-opensource


Texas Instruments is hosting their own version of this and it's based on GCC
version 4.9.  

The port as-is needs some maintenance, but I think it might be worthwhile just
to upgrade to this much more modern and supported version.
