Well the C compiler was not free...

I tried early 90 to install ATT UNIX 386 V r3.2 from partial source, but I had the libs the C compiler and XX 5-1/4 floppies....
I started all again with my first linux ( a99p108 )in 93 and it was like hicks explains, the hardest for me was to start with gcc for dos to build your precompiler I had to call a friend who was good in C to help me through... then yes it takes time specially when you can only do that after work, the kernel compilation took a weekend ( it was a 486/66 ...) it was up on the 3rd weekend...
About UNIX V 386, it was not intented for PC at the time as you had XENIX for that, so the basic runtimes were for small to good sized server using intel 386 architecture for e.g. mulitusers to learn programming languages like C Pascal or Cobol using VT100 or WISE terminals connected using multiplexed serial ports, you come up installing that on fancy modern pentium architecture with graphics and I/O cards it never heard of, you are to build the missing drivers from scratch and that part is far from being easy

NAME
mk-build-deps - build a package satisfying a package's build-dependencies SYNOPSIS
mk-build-deps --help|--version mk-build-deps [options] control file | package name ... DESCRIPTION
Given a package name and/or control file, mk-build-deps will use equivs to generate a binary package which may be installed to satisfy all the build dependencies of the given package. If --build-dep and/or --build-indep are given, then the resulting binary package(s) will depend solely on the Build-Depends/Build-Depends-Indep dependencies, respectively. OPTIONS
-i, --install Install the generated packages and its build-dependencies. -t, --tool When installing the generated package use the specified tool. (default: apt-get --no-install-recommends) -r, --remove Remove the package file after installing it. Ignored if used without the --install switch. -a foo, --arch foo If the source package has architecture-specific build dependencies, produce a package for architecture foo, not for the system architecture. (If the source package does not have architecture-specific build dependencies, the package produced is always for the pseudo-architecture all.) -B, --build-dep Generate a package which only depends on the source package's Build-Depends dependencies. -A, --build-indep Generate a package which only depends on the source package's Build-Depends-Indep dependencies. -h, --help Show a summary of options. -v, --version Show version and copyright information. -s, --root-cmd Use the specified tool to gain root privileges before installing. Ignored if used without the --install switch. AUTHOR
