Along those lines, we are using the LiveCD tools to develop customized 
application releases.  We have a Live Runtime and a Live Development 
build and the Development build includes compilers, debuggers, 
profilers, etc...  This is tremendously useful for troubleshooting and 
debugging our application.  Obviously compiled changes won't stick 
around after a reboot but we still find the ability to compile extremely 
useful to our overall process.

Varoon:  you can probably get the compilers you need with a command like:

yum -y install gcc gcc-c++

This of course assumes you are connected to the internet.

Good luck,
