Sure!

No, thats not my intention.

Not my intention either :)

I would like to see a common nut/include/arch which always directs to
the right nut/arch/architecture/include.

That's the way e.g. linux manages it's architecture specific includes.
The links are generated by the configuration tool during setup.

This way you always have a common include path (nut/include/arch) _AND_
the files are located beside the c-files.

Good point. We should re-organise the include/dev tree as well!

Ok, so my development environment (Anjuta and CodeLite on Linux) use to
provide a source-tree file browser where I always have to expand or
collapse all these sub-trees to navigate between the C and the H files.

Bye,
