People do have to be careful when using ti supplied asm modules.. for example the ti fix for the RTC in the 5xx does not work without altering the asm code to cope with the difference in the way crosworks passes parameters to asm modules..

We've done what TI have done--effectively match a selected set of pragmas so
that TI can maintain a single source code base. It means all those small TI
examples that demonstrate the MSP430 now compile without any change.
