The "Binaries" CD-ROM includes GNU compiler tools that will run on each of several systems often distributed without a C compiler. (The source code is also included, of course.) Thus people who use those systems can compile GNU and other free software without buying a proprietary compiler. They can also use the "Binaries" to compile their own programs written in C, C++, or Objective-C languages (or Fortran for some of the platforms).
Printed manuals for the chief "compiler tools" are available from the FSF.
