Host Toolchains

In some specific configurations, like when building for non-MCU x86 targets on a Linux host, you may be able to re-use the native development tools provided by your operating system.

To use your host gcc, set the ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT environment variable to host. To use clang, set ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT to llvm.
