So this comes down to either breaking fedora/debian toolchains (that
don't support elf emulation mode) or breaking bare-metal toolchains
(that don't support linux emulation mode).

Since Linux is a bare-metal project that does not technically require
the linux target (who said using "Linux" for all things is confusing?),
I think it should aim for the elf target in the long term.

But well, breaking Linux build in common distros isn't good either, so I
guess it makes sense to revert this while distros toolchains are being
fixed. Hopefully, it won't take too long.

What do you think?

Cheers,

Paul
