Uncomment the following line in setup.mk and comment out the line above
to enable the Linux build.
export PX4_TARGET_OS = linux
The build uses the clang compiler by default. The final bundled executable
is mainapp located in:
Build/linux_default.build/mainapp
When you run mainapp it will provide a list of the built-in apps. You can
type in the commands to run such as:
hello_main start
Because the Linux build is threaded and does not support tasks or processes,
it cannot call errx, exit() _exit(), etc. It also requires unique scoped
variables to test if a thread is running or if an application should exit.
The px4::AppMgr class was added in px4_app.h for this purpose. The
hello sample app demonstrates how this is used.

Moved the NuttX specific board files to makefiles/nuttx and added
a makfiles/linux directory with sample config and board files.
Created a makefiles/toolchain_native.mk file for building for Linux
with the native system compiler. GCC or clang can be used by setting
a flag in the file.
The Linux build creates an archive file and will build the tasks as
threads. Other code changes are required to support both task based
and thread based builds.
The NuttX source should not be required for the Linux build. The
target OS (NuttX or Linux) is selected by commenting out the desired
line in setup.mk
