How is the system going to interpret the X'80' used to indicate the end of a CALL parameter list. Today you just load it into a register and use it because it is interpreted as a 31 bit address. If you are using AM32, this address is not the one you want. and would require adding code to eliminate the X'80'.

If a program already needs 12.G of data, why do special development which will have a hard cap of 3.2G especially when the availability of much more is commonly available? My guess is the OP is married to 4 byte pointers.
