How about extending the assembler to understand a native 24-bit type
as well?

        .global pc
        .data
        .type pc, @object
        .size pc, 3
pc:     .word24   c

This probably also requires a matching relocation record type in
binutils (so the linker could appropriately enter c's address into
pc).
