I started out trying to install the rtcomm update that gives all kinds of new protocol support to the built in messaging app. I was having install problems even with red pill mode on. Then when poking around in the app manager I saw an entry for gcc. gcc? Oh my dear, how pimp would that be? Hell yea:

Native GCC

There’s gcc, g++, and dev header installs for all kinds of stuff. Why was I not informed of this earlier?
