most C source codes require 32bits..  to get any meaningful
software, you'd need a 32bit C compiler for the nonexistant
32bit 65816 successor...

so put a compatibility mode in the chip.. like WDC was going
to do..

I have a few projects I need to complete before I start looking at
the 6502/65816 cores..  I think it would be a fun experiment..
