By default, the equivalent to "make all", which just does a recursive
recompile.  No installation of anything.

Possibly; check by running mount.  If so, you'll have to remount it
read/write before installation can possibly work.

Possibly.  I suspect that most user-land code doesn't care about the
include files that change the most, fortunately.

It took my diskless Sun-3/260 about a week to do a full rebuild
(everything except the kernel).

Oh dear, you've been afflicted with MUSIC?  My sympathies.  (For those
who find this hopelessly cryptic, MUSIC is an OS put out by the McGill
Computing Centre.  It is an acronym for, I think, <M>cGill <U>niversity
<S>ystem for <I>nteractive <C>omputing; their idea of interactive seems
to be a line editor on a 300-baud teletype.  In its day it may have
been a good system, but as far as I can tell it hasn't evolved with the
rest of the world over the intervening years, so by now it's pretty
painfully out-of-date.)
