toolchain
The set of programs — compiler, assembler, linker — that turn source code into a runnable binary.
Building software takes a coordinated set of tools: a compiler translates source to machine instructions, an assembler and linker assemble and stitch the pieces into an executable. That whole set for a given target is the toolchain. Cross-architecture work is sometimes done with one flexible toolchain rather than a separate one per CPU target.
