A common misconception is that GCC stands for GNU C Compiler, but it stands for GNU Compiler Collection. Perhaps why you did not realize ;)

GNU C Compiler was the original name. A lot of us probably never bothered updating our mental acronym tables.

You mean to tell me that the acronym settled in your head between March and December 1987 and you never reconsidered since then?

[kstrauser]

Nope. It settled in my head before it was renamed in 1999: https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/History#Reunification

I didn't know that either! And I've even used it before, haha

[wtetzner]

But I assume the name of the gcc binary stands for GNU C Compiler?
