I see. This obviously is different from, the way PIC24 is handled. This 
the debugging interface is just a  communication pipe.

Now _hopefully_ they did use standards, and the "debugger executive 
program" is compatible with gdbserver (which makes sense as they do use 
the gnu compiler suite).

With that, it could be doable to use the cross gdb (for MIPS, running on 
PC) to access the PIC32 via the debug interface.

Maybe this is what EJTAGproxy does.
