"Compilation" is generally taken to mean a compilation for platform A executed on platform A.
"Cross-compilation" is generally taken to mean a compilation for platform B executed on platform A. In other words, a compilation that could not be executed on the hosting platform.
A "compilation" would therefore be a compiler running on Linux producing a program that can be executed on Linux.
A "cross-compilation" would be a compiler running on Linux producing a program to be executed on Windows.
