The objects are still compiled in the subdir, but the creation of the archive itself is in the top-level. This is a required step before we can move compilation itself up, and makes it easier to review. The downside is that each object compile is a recursive make instead of a single one. On my 4 core system, it adds ~100msec to the build per port, so it's not great, but it shouldn't be a big deal. This will go away of course once the top-level compiles objects.
= OVERVIEW = The Synacor Challenge is a fun programming exercise with a number of puzzles built into it. You can find more details about it here: https://challenge.synacor.com/ The first puzzle is writing an interpreter for their custom ISA. This is a simulator for that custom CPU. The CPU is quite basic: it's 16-bit with only 8 registers and a limited set of instructions. This means the port will never grow new features. See README.arch-spec for more details. Implementing it here ends up being quite useful: it acts as a simple constrained "real world" example for people who want to implement a new simulator for their own architecture. We demonstrate all the basic fundamentals (registers, memory, branches, and tracing) that all ports should have.
