We already got folders in folders in a lot of places, so this is not increasing the maximum depths ;-) >> We have 110 files in the root directory.

Yes, and please consider that there are more targets coming soon ... RISC-V, AVR, ... and I am pretty sure that we won't stop there. With regards to the other *.c files in the main directory, I agree with Markus, we should move some of them to suitable subdirectories, too. I could have a look at that when I've got some spare minutes... Thomas
