Although, I've wanted to change that for a number of years. There are
advantages to building lib/device. It makes it easier to customize the library.
But, of course, that requires quite a bit of effort, mainly in the autotools
area, and that's what has stopped me from doing it. That and we keep having
perennial discussion on increase of the build-time if we went to lib/device. I
argue that it is still worth it, computers get faster every year, and with
avr-libc we can do a lot of building in parallel (make -j).
But that's an orthogonal discussion to this thread...
