Needing a 5-10 GB SDK is probably what keeps anyone from casually doing that...
That's a start and probably ok for lots of users (but buried and hard to find and not documented). They don't even have a link to the source anywhere I can find though.

Looks like big distros (e.g. Debian) might have it packaged tho, in which case you get most of the benefits of source (trusted reproducible build, compat with whatever arch you're running not just x86_64, ...).
-
Debian has packages but it's a bad idea to use those. It's important to use the up-to-date tools and it really doesn't need to be installed system-wide. Can also decide to install the IDE later and it knows how to use an existing minimal SDK directory for the tools.

Well where do you get the sources to build the SDK? This is all so awful and undocumented.
-
Not sure why you're talking about building it now. A hello world tutorial doesn't really start with building glibc, binutils and GCC.
-
A hello world tutorial doesn't start with installing some vendor's binaries for a particular arch/OS. It lets you get the right tools for your arch/OS, building them from source if needed.
