Actually I was the one who implemented gdbproxy. We needed something for 
MSP430 support that would allow us to embed a proprietary library from 
TI, and not break licencing rules. I picked up rproxy. I contact its 
developer. He has lost interest in the code, so I took it up. I forget 
the reason for giving it a new name, but it made sense that the time. :-)

There is nothing MSP430 specific in the code in CVS at 
mspgcc.sourceforge.net. What is in there is the generic code, with a 
skeleton for a target specific module. The target specific module for 
the MSP430 is here with me, and not in CVS. I would welcome anyone using 
this code. Its why I put everything I was allowed to in a public CVS 
respository.
