Even bank support would be good enough I would think. While the assembler is able to generate 65816 code, the compiler is not. Supporting the 816 was a vague idea a long time ago, but no effort was put into an actual implementation. And this will probably stay so for the foreseeable future: On one side, adding 65815 support would be a real lot of work, and on the other side, the list of platforms that can be supported is far smaller than the number of existing 6502 systems. In addition to that, there are no emulators for existing 65816 machines (maybe I'm wrong here). This means that development is much more costly, because one cannot use all the development tools available on the PC, the debugger that usually comes with an emulator and so on. There is an lcc port to the 816 and - if I remember correctly - also a gcc port. Both lack the necessary libraries, but at least it's a starting point.
