Ready-to-execute machine code is the result of compiling
and linking.
A compiler generally produces object code that needs to be resolved with a linker, not ready-to-execute machine code.
A cross-compiler (like the Windriver installation) produces object code for a target (the cRIO) which differs from the host (Windows PC) on which the compiler is executing.
