You install (pkg) the following packages 
from Slackware 4.0 (d1 directory):
------------
binutils.tgz
egcs.tgz 
gmake.tgz
libc.tgz
linuxinc.tgz
------------
That is the bare minimum.  There are other 
packages in the d1 directory that may be 
needed for some sourcecode.

You should be able to compile on the BL3 
foundation.  A full Slackware installation 
should not be necessary.
