I am with Corona688 here.
I have messed with Linux since YGGDRASIL Fall '95 edition and tried out many until I hit Debian. This was the single most stable platform I have ever had. I could not make it crash and I hammer the hardware hard.
A close second was PCLinuxOS which was more user friendly.
I run Mint 17 at the moment but my other laptop is going to have the current Debian on it.
As for a development tool they all have gcc as a _builtin_ along with many other installed or ready to be DLed from the repositories.
Audacity is a standard install too.
There are small footprint Linux flavours, just do a Google...
Hope this helps...

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

hardened-ld

HARDENED-LD(1)							 Debian GNU/Linux						    HARDENED-LD(1)

NAME

       hardened-ld - linker wrapper to enforce hardening toolchain improvements

SYNOPSIS

       export DEB_BUILD_HARDENING=1

       ld ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  hardened-ld  wrapper  is  normally	used  by  calling  ld  as usual with DEB_BUILD_HARDENING set to 1. It will configure the necessary
       toolchain hardening features. By default, all features are enabled. If a given feature does not work correctly and needs  to  be  disabled,
       the corresponding environment variables mentioned below can be set to 0.

ENVIRONMENT

       DEB_BUILD_HARDENING=1
	      Enable hardening features.

       DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_DEBUG=1
	      Print the full resulting gcc command line to STDERR before calling gcc.

       DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_RELRO=0
	      Don't mark ELF sections read-only after start. See README.Debian for details.

       DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_BINDNOW=0
	      Don't mark ELF loader for start-up dynamic resolution. See README.Debian for details.

NOTES

       System-wide settings can be added to /etc/hardening-wrapper.conf, one per line.

       The  real  ld is renamed ld.real, and a diversion is registered with dpkg-divert(1).  Thus hardened-ld's idea of the default ld is dictated
       by whatever package installed /usr/bin/ld.
