[npamidisf]

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

I've been trying to build bgfx, bimg and bx for iOS and followed the steps recommended in the build-instructions page. While, it does build make ios-arm and make ios-simulator-arm64, but I'm seeing the below error when i run make ios-simulator.

In file included from ../../../../bimg/src/image_decode.cpp:71: ../../../../bimg/3rdparty/stb/stb_image.h:967:1: fatal error: thread-local storage is not supported for the current target STBI_THREAD_LOCAL ^ ../../../../bimg/3rdparty/stb/stb_image.h:624:39: note: expanded from macro 'STBI_THREAD_LOCAL' #define STBI_THREAD_LOCAL thread_local

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Download bgfx, bimg, bx
2. cd into bgfx
3. Run make ios-simulator
4. See error

Expected behavior
It should generate static libraries of bgfx, bimg and bx for x86_64 arch

I removed support for iOS simulator:

@bkaradzic Don't we need the x86_64(intel macs) and arm64(m1 macs) simulator arch builds to be able to build and develop using the library?

You submitted issue it doesn't work. I didn't check that recently, nor I have time to deal with it. So this wouldn't be fixed anytime soon by me, and I just removed it to not cause confusion. Once I have time to deal with simulator I might reintroduce it.
