What's the security risk?

  You can compile local exploits instead of having to download them. If the machine is fully stripped enough it can be a good thing. Most of the time it's just an annoyance. Eg. Windows boxes rarely have a compiler and get hacked all the time.

    If an attacker that can't deal with that manages to get on your box, you've already been hacked by several other people.
