A 24-bit integer is not supported by the C language. In theory, support
could be added to GCC, but then it would be considered an extension to
the C language. And it would also be difficult and/or time-consuming to
add to GCC.

what about a PDP 8 or PDP 15, could we not code for it? being 12
and 18 bit machines?

For a PDP-8, CHAR_BIT would be 12, int could have 24 bits, and long could have
36 or 48, whatever is most convenient/efficient/desired.
For a PDP-15, char and int could be the same 18-bit type, and long could be 36
bits.
On further reflection, you might be able to replace the standard 16
