I would not interpet the error above as the linker not working; I'd
interpret it as the linker not finding dsPIC code that it needs to
generate the executable.  I'm guessing this is startup code, which is
in a dsPIC library that's not included in the "open source" stuff.

Considering that Microchip is selling C30, I doubt they intended to
give it away free to anyone who could figure out how to compile it.
They are simply complying with their GPL obligations to release the
source code that they used from GCC.  I don't think they're under any
obligation to release source code for libraries that they wrote
themselves from scratch that run on the dsPIC which are not actually a
part of GCC or the rest of the toolchain.
