mostly 16-bit; but you should be able to copy the pattern for 8 bit. Libcore *almost* compiles for AVR.

Dream target is 6502/65816 (SNES). I have some interesting leeway there.

Looks like there was some work to support a 6502 chip in LLVM - https://is.gd/x70XoK

There is another more up to date repo: https://github.com/beholdnec/llvm-m6502 … But last I emailed them, they're busy :(.
