I am not see the strong necessity to add new arch into GCC. This is a big work. Also it is doubtful that it is possible to use 8-bit address entirely in GCC. Quite another thing is Avr-libc: such optimization is possible with small efforts. This concerns only a restricted number of most popular asm functions, which are suitable for small programs Examples are a few of string functions, EEPROM, Flash reading, startup. Such optimization is possible regardless of the spliting model (full lib_per_device, restricted lib_per_device or lib_per_project).
