TasK Builder. Like "LINK" on VMS but under RSX-11M (at least).

"In order to support large programs within the PDP-11's relatively
small virtual address space of 64 KB, a sophisticated semi-automatic
overlay system was used; for any given program, this overlay scheme
was produced by RSX's taskbuilder program (called TKB). If the
overlay scheme was especially complex, taskbuilding could take
a rather long time."
