Ouch. Are you really sure that you want to do this? Gcc requires
reasonably efficient addressing of stack frames in order to spill and
fill when there are insufficient physical registers. This might be
hard to do on the PIC. gcc has been [orted to some 16-bitters, but a
microcontroller is a stretch.
Andrew.
