With the merge of #3232, we need to distinguish "compile to binary object" (compiler + assembler) and "compile to binary" (compiler + assembler + linker).
Renaming "compile to binary" as "link to binary" is more correct in this context and less confusing.
We don't rename the internal field (kept as 'binary') because it's part of the API and we can't break it.
