You'll need gcc, glibc-devel and probably gcc-g++.  You also need
binutils so make sure that's installed.  If you're compiling kernels,
you'll need dev86 too.

I've been developing software on Linux for years, including building
lots of third-party programs, and never need the other gcc language
support packages (gcc-objc, gcc-g77, gcc-java and gcc-chill).

You're unlikely to need glibc-debug or glibc-debug-static.  You only use
these if you're debugging programs and want to step into the C library. 
I've never used them.


Cheers,

John
