In short, no. As the filesystem is RO, you have no way of writing a
development environment to the filesystem.

If the OS is running from a live CD, you can recreate the CD with a
compiler installed.

HOWEVER!!!!!!  There will still be no place to write the output files
unless the system is reconfigured to use a RAM disk that is set RW.

If the OS is running from a hard drive that has the partitions set to
RO, then change the inittab reference to RO for the /usr partition and
install the compiler, then reset the inittab to ro and reboot.

I would say try mounting the compiler tools over an NFS connection, but
if the / directory is mounted RO, the mount will fails since the inittab
can't be written to.
