Should be possible as long as you are sure that the debug info generated
has a corresponding reader. One would need to know the links to c55x the
compiler and c2c as well and the kind of debug info generated by default
by those compilers.

Further you would have to write the target specific implementation for the
pic. I am not aware of any gdb backend for the pic series of
microcontrollers.
