Hi Roberto,
PIC16 was full of challenges and we had to do very unconventional things to
get it generate PIC16 code. One of the most difficult thing was that we
wanted 16-bit pointers which is an 'illegal' type size on the target. There
were so many more things other than that.  You may find some of the
discussions in the archives.

Having said that, PIC24 and PIC16 are entirely different and PIC24 might be
more suited for LLVM port.
