Wouldn't be possible to move these folders somewhere else (build/deps or
whatever). Now it's really distracting.

Not when you run it locally. Other cpu targets are build separately in

But all libraries are built. I'd argue that if there is some special
handling needed, either don't build any zic by default or build as many of
them as many of libc.a's is there. Now it's really confusing for anyone not
familiar with all the scripts, one would think there's only 68000
executable available, which, ironically, was exactly the case before your
changes.

Is there a reason not to build them? Apart from the additional compilation

I don't know, it just seemed odd to have ELF this kind of preference.
