- Canadian Cross
This is a cross compiler where build machine != host
machine. See
What is a Canadian Cross?for more information.
- cross compiler
This is a compiler that builds programs for a machine
different than the one the compiler is run on. For example, an i386-linux cross
m68k-coff compiler is one where GCC runs on an i386-linux machine and compiles
programs for running on m68k-coff machines.
- build machine
This is the machine the toolchain is being built on.
In the case of a Canadian Cross, it is not the same as the host machine.
- host machine
This is the machine the toolchain programs (GCC, GAS,
etc.) will run on. In the case of a cross compiler, this is not the same as
the target machine.
- native compiler
This is a compiler where host == target.
- target machine
This is the machine the toolchain builds programs
for.
