There already is a newlib package: newlib-arm-none-eabi.
Could you use (package (inherit "newlib-msp430") ...) to reduce duplication?
Also, could you
  
   (a) change the name to, say, "newlib-msp430"
or (b) instead of defining a new "newlib" package, keep a single newlib package
and make the architecture-dependent tweaks depend on (%current-target-system)?

such that "newlib@2.4.0" is an unambigious specification (or, at least, not
more ambigious than it was before), usable for "specification->package"?

This duplication can be removed by inheriting from 'newlib-arm-none-eabi'.

I'd suggest adding #:target "msp430-elf" to 'arguments' instead
of setting #:configure-flags directly.  That way, guix knows we are
cross-compiling and won't try to run tests and won't try to
run 'ldconfig'.

Greetings,
Maxime.
