FYI:
CC5X (for the Microchip MCUs) compiles binary literals without problems.
SDCC V4.2.0 (for different 8 Bit MCUs) compiles also without problems. If I use the --std-c11 switch it complains: warning 261: binary integer constant requires C23 or later
If I use the --std-c2x switch it compiles without warnings.
So, binary literals are also included in the C standard?

Nice question again!
I learned that it does not make a difference if the case of 0x matches the (upper/lower)case of the hex literals after it.

Unless your "embedded system" is a PDP-8.
Early Cray machines were naturally octal, as well :-)
