Not only this, but the standard requires the "long" data type to have at least
32 bits (in fact, it doesn't require 32 bit, but a certain range, and this
range means that at least 32 bits are needed). Any compiler where longs are
smaller wouldn't be standards compliant.
A better idea would probably be to introduce "far" pointers with 24 bits. This
would also help as a first step for 65816 code.
