Ok, I see.

cc65 is able to work with bank switched memory, but it needs some help from
you, because you have to provide the necessary information and wrappers.
Because bank switching is always very machine dependent, and needs special
precautions by the programmer, it is not possible to convert existing programs
to bank switched programs just by the use of a compiler switch (or similar).
This is not a problem (or limitation) of cc65 alone, I don't know of any
compiler with such a capability.
