The usual name for this header is config.h, but that's already used by
vehicles. Using uppercase could give the impression this is a
file to be modified, but it's not. Use lowercase instead.
Files that are not really part of the ROMFS in the folder might cause problems.
One problem that motivated this patch was caused because the make-based build
system copies the bootloader to the ROMFS in the source tree (mk/PX4/ROMFS)
instead of the build tree. That potentially could cause race condition between
the tasks created by 'px4_romfs_static_files' and 'px4_romfs_bootloader'.
Also, now we have only one task generator for static files.
That way we don't force other programs to be built on a directory of their
program group name. The directory name defaults to the program group.
We are separating those two concepts because of the upcoming support for
multiple groups for a program.
The find_realexec_path function was used for finding the toolchain path mostly
because of two reasons:
1) We couldn't really use CXX or CC variables because the user could set those
from the OS's environment and Waf wouldn't look for the executable file in
that case.
2) Our CI configuration sets up symlinks for ccache and find_realexec_path
works around that issue.
The bad side about using find_realexec_path() is that, besides working aroung
symlinks, it does the same thing that is done by Waf. This patch removes the
dependency for such a function by addressing each of the reasons above stated:
1) We create a local copy of os.environ and, if there's a variable with the
same name we are using, we remove it from the local copy.
2) As done before, we are looking for the cross ar program instead of gcc
program, since that is not used for ccache symlinks.
This is a better approach than checking command line options
--check-cxx-compiler and --check-c-compiler. Those values expect a list of
compilers to try instead of the compiler to use.
The benefits of this approach are:
- Allowing correct use of options --check-cxx-compiler and --check-c-compiler.
- Allowing user to pass CXX and CC environment variables, which is a common
way of selecting the compiler.
- Configuration is done *and committed* only for the specific compiler.

It makes more sense the toolchain Waf tool to be responsible of loading the
compilers. Furthermore, that allows toolchain tool to have control on doing
configuration before and after loading compiler tools.
- Use early return and reduce one indentation level.
- Set AR for both GNU compilers and clang just once and reduce redundancy.
- Reduce indentation level for clang-specific setup. There's no need to nest it
inside check if compilers are GNU or clang.
PX4 isn't supported at the moment and sitltest always use GCC, so we include the only ones that build
Travis has old LLVM installed and old Clang in a strange path (not a package) which interfere with the use of clang-3.7
