"Building" includes compiling. In order to "build" a product Project
Builder must do many things, including invoking the C compiler once for
each C source file. It also constructs your bundle, copies your
resources, links the final executable, and does whatever else you may
have configured using custom "Copy Files" or "Shell Script" build phases.
Think of building as performing the necessary steps to bring your
product up to date with respect to your project.

In Project Builder (PB), is "building" the same as "Compiling?"
Yes.
I believe that "building" refers to both "compiling" AND "linking".
This is especially important in Cocoa since even the simplest examples
are multi-file projects. (You can go through an entire beginning C text
and see nothing but single file examples.)
Or is it interpreting? Or?
No.
