Linking issue on a mac for Blinky project

[adigandhi]

I get the error below when compiling the sketch on macos High Sierra, with Arduino 1.8.4 and teensyduino on top.

Looks like the new Teensy EventResponder is causing the problem. I have decided it is not worth supporting FreeRTOS on Arduino.

See this.
