Well, my friend did an install and didn't select stuff marked as
"development" in the menu with general categories (like "Printer
Support" and "X Window System"), and he didn't get any of "make", "gcc"
or /usr/include/stdio.h.

He did have a full setup of GNOME, KDE and plenty of candy installed,
just no development tools, so I guess it isn't safe to assume "gcc" or
even "make"!
