No problem with that here (64bit 14.2) - gcc is found and used.

Yes I see those messages too. However compilation continues OK without
(apparent) ill effect.

One problem I did see was a linking failure right near the end of
compilation. However running 'make build' again after that failure
completed OK. I fixed this by running the SlackBuild with MAKEFLAGS=-j1
