Does binutils support 48-bit instructions and half-word based little-endian?

For most cases on most machines this isn't an issue because you need to read 
the instruction a word at a time to figure out how big it is. Arm (Thumb-2) 
and m68k are examples of machines that have variable-length instructions 
composed of 16-bit chunks.
