Given this email discussion it evidently *does* take extra time.  ;)

As I said, I won't object to such fixes.  But at the same time, it's
worth realizing that it's been quite a few years since much general
purpose code has worked on 16-bit CPUs.  Even Intel is working on
moving away from BIOS boot code that must running on 80286 class CPUs.
So I would not put such things on *my* priority list.

I believe that OpenOCD could be useful for *TARGET* chips that don't
have 32-bit words ... microcontrollers like AVR8, MSP430, and maybe
even some subset of the PIC chaos.
