Thanks. The make rule file is quite nice. Slight modification will make
it work with pic30-coff as well (just change elf to cof where applicable).
It is also working under Windows with minor modifications...

Just one question, if the code needs to link to other libraries 
(eg: the example code CE019_PIC needs dsp library libdsp-elf.a or 
libdsp-coff.a), what should I do in the Makefile without changing
the rule file pic30-rules.mk? Sorry I am not so good at writing
Makefile.

By the way, Nicolas has put the repackaged source files (with John's
patches) and building instructions in piklab website:
