I indeed 'think' that naming programs according to any taxonomy I might consider to be convenient, possibly including no taxonomy at all (why shouldn't I call a cross-compiler 'Julia', should I so desire?) is useful to me.
You are free to call your compiler anything you like but in the future your code might not compile any more.
Since the build host also usually offers compilation tools, it is quite useful if each set of tools is clearly demarked by a naming convention so that the correct ones are used. Use symbolic links to establish one without modifying your tool installation.
