SwiftX (FORTH, Inc.'s line of fully interactive cross-compilers for embedded microcontrollers) supports at any one time ~a dozen different processors, 8 & 16-bit (both of which we support with a 16-bit implementation) and 32-bit. Each processor requires about 20 files of platform-specific code, including its assembler and optimizing compiler and hardware support. The rest of the system (including most high-level functions, host communications, utilities, libraries, etc.) comprise nearly 70 files that are *fully compatible* across the entire product line. >> I also don't see how you can achieve item 1 if you are going to >> support multiple CPUs.

There is no external support required, but the ~20 files I mentioned above support full access to the target processor and the board it's on without leaving the SwiftX environment.
