Sure, in addition to 'cc' and 'make', you'll have 'gcc' and 'gmake' if
you install those packages. GNU Make is almost always installed by me.
GCC not so much, you may want to try the clang 'cc' first to see if it'll
compile what you need first. 

BTW: simh is already a prebuilt package as well, not sure if with the
options you need.
