Reading more on motorola web pages they consider the 68000 to be 32 bit too.
I don't agree fully. Shure, the core is 32 bit, and you can move around 32 
bits at once
internally, but you can't do it externally not makeing it a true 32 bit 
processor.
Probably gcc generates better code with 16 bit ints instead of 32 bit, due 
to the narrow data bus.
but maybe the "correct" should be 32 bit ints...
