Have you tried it? I did, and gave up.

Microchip very definitely wants you to program PIC32 in C. They provide
absolutely ZERO documentation or support for assembly-language programming.

They only provide a link to the MIPS website, which of course, only contain=
s
generic information about the architecture, and nothing at all about
development tools or the specific PIC32 implementation(s).

The best you can do is work from the generic GNU tools manuals, and try to
reverse-engineer the PIC32-specific details that Microchip has introduced.
