This is the GDB mailing list. You may want to ask on the GCC user
mailing list instead.

I would expect what you want to do to work, but I am slightly confused
as to why you want to do it. You may want to see if SDCC (the small
device C compiler) fits your needs. It may support C166 devices, I
can't tell for sure based on the search results I am seeing.
