Well if you describe it good enough in a document then I or somebody else
can modify current or1k gcc to output correct code. Compiler is quite easy.
Also you can try to add support in or1ksim. Just clone cpu/or1k directory
and modify cpu/or1k/execute.c. With compiler and simulator first 'C'
programs can be run using your OR16.

Currently the problems are with assembler. But if you use or1.h description
of instructions (see in egcs-1.1.2 sources under binutils somewhere; I can't
remember just now where exactly is that file) then once all bugs are removed
from assembler the only thing to assemble for OR16 would be to replace or1.h
with yours.
