Some status updates on this front.

According to the OpenOCD mailing list, support of PIC32
debugging and programming is now kind of in place.
All basic functions within gdb should be working, including
software/hardware breakpoints. Some works are still needed to
get it fully working.  For example, it is said that all flash can be
erased and/or programmed. Still no chip_erase command.
And data transfers to/from the target are still slow.

When this is done, you can use cheap parallel port based
Wiggler or those USB JTAG tools for ARM (FTDI2232 based,
R-Link, J-Link, etc) for PIC32 debugging/programming.
