Originally an [Acronym] for "[GNU] [C] [Compiler]", now a [Backronym] for "[GNU] [Compiler] Collection".

A collection of compilers for [C], [C++], [Fortran] etc. The compilers aim to be first and foremost standards-compliant and correct. This differs from other compilers many of which are developed by commercial companies and specialised to show off their hardware or software.
[Java] support (GCJ) is a new and not yet robust.

The [Compiler] that the [Linux] kernel is normally built with and the one that ships as standard on most [GNU]/[Linux] systems.
