I think that this is part of the changes. Compiling for the 14 bit code is
well understood. The enhanced core changed some of the code
generation dynamics in two important ways. The architecture changes
for the most part added instruction selection and memory
management options. The added choices opened many code generation
alternatives that map applications on to the silicon.

ISO61131 based process control applications for example are likely to
map on the enhanced mid range cores quite well.
