The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, Ada, and Go, as well as libraries for these languages (libstdc++, libgcj,...). GCC was originally written as the compiler for the GNU operating system (Ref: https://gcc.gnu.org/) . The original GNU C Compiler (GCC - GNU Compliler Collection) was developed by Richard Stallman, the founder of the GNU Project. Richard Stallman founded the GNU project in 1984 to create a complete Unix-like operating system as free software, to promote freedom and cooperation among computer users and programmers.

The "make" utility automates some aspects of building executable from source code. "make" uses a so-called makefile, which contains rules on how to build the executables.
