You're probably right. I seem to remember being able to build a custom
kernel without having to install anything up to 7.0 which was about the
time I went to FreeBSD. (A recent job change has put me back into RH
distros and now I'm running Fedora on my laptop and workstation at
work.)
However, these days, you have to choose the development-tools package
group during installation.
