Hi :)
Maybe some people tend to think installing a compiler is giving an intruder the possibility to compile his own code. Personally I think, that this thought is one step too late for securing a system.
If an intruder already has compromised the system it has been proven that the system is insecure.
I think not installing a compiler is limiting damage done by an intruder, but not making a system more secure.
just my 2 cents
