To overcome my NRWW overflow that is caused by BOOFA's 512W need I added
the following macro call before each core_8k.inc .include line:
; include as much as possible in the core
.macro icore
.if (pc > AMFORTH_RO_SEG)
.if (pc > FLASHEND - 64)
.org DPSTART
.endif
.endif
.endm
While I managed to build (after dict_appl.inc duplicate entries removal
pain) I experienced serious compiler hanging. For lack of time I had to
Stash... That's a word of caution regarding this reallocation of the asm
code reliability... Ignore at your peril.

Yes, if someone has the spare time to convert AmForth to GNU binutils
avr-as / avr-ld that would nice...
