Things are evolving more rapidly than for the older PICs, but that should be
expected.  You can definitely get work done with the tools.  Watch out for
the C30 compiler though.  I've got code that seems to work when compiled for
debugging.  Things get a little flaky when turning off debug mode.  They get
more flaky when turning on optimization.

I still haven't heard from Microchip whether the problem I reported was a
deliberate change or an oops they will fix shortly.  In the mean time I
worked around the problem by writing a program that parses the linker files,
extracts the fixed symbol definitions, then writes these out in the form of
an assembler include file using hard .EQUIV directives.
