Yes, but not without additional packages.
The root filesystem contains all packages to get a system up in
multi-user on the network, to get a compile environment, you have
to install compilers, make, flex, bison, and *devel* libraries.
The current list of packages is:
MAKEDEV-2.3.1-6 grep-2.2-2 pwdb-0.54-8
SysVinit-2.74-4 gzip-1.2.4-12 redhat-release-5.1-2
basesystem-4.9-2 info-3.12-4 rpm-2.5.2-1
bash-1.14.7-7 initscripts-3.67-1 rsh-0.10-4
bdflush-1.5-8 less-332-2 sed-2.05-10
binutils-2.8.1-2 libtermcap-2.0.8-9 setup-1.9.1-2
chkconfig-0.9.3-2 logrotate-2.6-2 sh-utils-1.16-14
cpio-2.4.2-7 mgetty-1.1.14-2 shadow-utils-980403-3
cracklib-2.7-2 mingetty-0.9.4-7 slang-0.99.38-7
cracklib-dicts-2.7-2 mktemp-1.4-3 sysklogd-1.3-23
dev-2.5.9-1 mount-2.7l-3 tar-1.12-2
e2fsprogs-1.10-6 ncurses-4.2-8 tcp_wrappers-7.6-4
etcskel-1.3-4 ncurses3-1.9.9e-6 telnet-0.10-5
file-3.24-2 net-tools-1.33-6 termcap-9.12.6-11
filesystem-1.3.1-3 netkit-base-0.10-10 textutils-1.22-7
fileutils-3.16-9 newt-0.25-2 util-linux-2.7-19
ftp-0.10-2 pam-0.64-2 vim-5.1-5
gawk-3.0.3-3 pamconfig-0.51-5 zlib-1.1.2-2
glibc-2.0.7-20 procps-1.2.7-5
All these without documentation, to keep the size limited.
Have fun!
