The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds Linux support to a Monero wallet app. Most changes are ordinary cross-platform plumbing, but two items deserve a closer look: a new helper script edits a binary shared library to clear an 'executable stack' flag, and the app now stores wallet files, Tor data, and logs in the user's home directory under a hidden folder on Linux. The commit itself does not describe these as security fixes, and there is no external advisory or researcher attribution supplied.

Recommended action

Treat this as a platform-enablement change rather than a confirmed security patch. Reviewers should verify the provenance and hash of linux/monero_libwallet2_api_c.so, confirm fix_execstack.sh is run at build time, and audit that $HOME/.skylight_wallet is created with restrictive permissions (e.g., 0700) since it will hold wallet files, Tor state, and logs. Consider adding a follow-up commit to set directory permissions explicitly.
