no, i'm talking about the subset of build-essnetial (we used to ship
build-essential, but cut it down to the absolute minimum you need for
driver compiling) we ship on the images...

have a look at lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu.quantal/desktop,
there you will find the following section:

----- snip -------
= Development =

Here we provide a minimal development environment sufficient to build
kernel
drivers, so that this is possible on the live CD and in scenarios where
it is problematic to get these packages onto the installed system in
order
to compile a driver. -mdz

 * (gcc)
 * (make)
 * (linux-headers-generic-pae) [i386]
 * (linux-headers-generic) [amd64]
 * (linux-headers-dove) [armel]
