There's nothing in the linker that limits it to 16 bit. So yes, the linker
will also work for the 816. There may be minor issues not detected because
most programs are 16 bit programs, but if so, they're definitely no design
limitations and should be rather easy to fix.

Since I don't know the assembler and linker backends used with lcc, I cannot
judge, how worthwhile this is. My suggestion would be to translate one or two
generated assembler files manually or with a perl script, and assemble/link
the final programs from it, just to see if there are any problems lurking.
