Nope, not really that necessary either, though, it does help speed
porting.

Again, no such requirement exists.  These do impact porting speed,
but, writting a compiler from scratch would be hard on such a platform
anyway.  Odd cases, tend to waste money unless there is a compelling
need for them.

>flat memory addressing

:-) You don't get out much if you haven't seen a gcc port with 20 or
more memory spaces.  Again, this is a property of the target, not of
gcc.  Hint, gcc can have a ton of memory spaces.  If you overflow, you
might have to change the number of bits in gcc for such purposes, but
that's usually a small change.

I'd prhase it this way, if you want a large number of customers,
giving them something which is easy to use it useful.  You can invent
a cpu with 30 bit integers, but expect to sink in a ton of money and
not ever make it back.  This is a property of the enconomics of the
space, and a bit less to with with gcc per se.  clang for example, you
might characterize in a similar way.  All my comments above apply
equally well to clang.
