Editing GNU toolchain

{{Short description|Collection of programming tools produced by the GNU Project}}
The '''GNU toolchain''' is a broad collection of [[programming tool]]s produced by the [[GNU Project]]. These tools form a [[toolchain]] (a suite of tools used in a serial manner) used for developing software [[application software|applications]] and [[operating system]]s.

The GNU toolchain plays a vital role in development of [[Linux]], some [[Berkeley Software Distribution|BSD]] systems, and software for [[embedded system]]s. Parts of the GNU toolchain are also directly used with or [[Porting|ported]] to other platforms such as [[Solaris (operating system)|Solaris]], [[macOS]], [[Microsoft Windows]] (via [[Cygwin]] and [[MinGW|MinGW/MSYS/WSL2]]), [[PlayStation Portable|Sony PlayStation Portable]] (used by [[PlayStation Portable homebrew|PSP modding scene]])<ref>{{Citation|last=|first=|title=Homebrew Playstation Portable GNU Toolchain|date=|url=https://github.com/pspdev/psptoolchain|volume=|pages=|publisher=pspdev|access-date=2021-01-03}}</ref> and [[PlayStation 3|Sony PlayStation 3]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Sony Playstation Linux GNU Toolchain|url=https://oss.sony.net/Products/Linux|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2021-01-03|website=oss.sony.net}}</ref>
