Thank you Jonathan for the quick reply.
The AVR is in fact an 8-bit cpu - I think it is the only 8-bit target
that is supported by gcc mainline.
For a 16-bit cpu, look at the msp430 port. It has just recently been
added to mainline - previously it was developed outside the main gcc
tree. But being a new port, or at least a newly cleaned up port, it
should be a good example to start with.
Excellent news! Which release version includes (or will include) the
MSP430?
Good grief, no. Not the msp430 which has odd sized pointers. If you're
going to do a 16 bit port, do a pure one. Anything with PSImode should
be avoided as a learning experience.
For someone trying to learn, I'd stick with one of the simple 32bit
embeded riscy processors. v850 for example.
