Yes. We don't cover that in codingconventions.html, alas its sibling:
"back end" (noun)
"back-end" (adjective)
(When in doubt I ask Sandra. :-) )

Ok, here are some more:
"named address space" or "named address-space"? (the ISO/IEC TR 18037
thing). The document seems to be using the former.
"assembly" or "assembler" for the asm language? Like in "assembly code".
And it would be "assembler time"? (the time when GAS runs).
The time when LD run is "link time", not "linker time"?
