Yes. You can customize the optimizations used by the compiler. In MPLAB 
you can go to the compiler settings tab, and choose "none", "debug", 
"all", and "custom". You need "debug" if you are going to do ICD (at 
least with the ICD2), otherwise I use "all". The "Custom" option 
"un-greys"  a bunch of individual optimizations available, and you can 
choose the ones you want. One of them is "Procedural Abstraction". 
Additionally, when you set up your build you have to either enable or 
disable the extended instruction set. This is not an "optimization", but 
a build strategy.
