This line made me suspicious, because it looks like it's giving compiler args:
>false -I. -std=c99 -D_ALL_SOURCE=1 -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 
> -D__EXTENSIONS__   \
> -o docs/makedoc ./docs/makedoc.c

... it's trying to call /usr/bin/gcc (not cc?) directly, and its absence causes CC_FOR_BUILD to become false.

This ends up in the Makefile:
# Build-time compiler and flags. These are used for building executables that
# are only used at build-time, e.g., docs/makedoc. These are different from CC /
# CFLAGS / LDFLAGS because the host and target systems might be different.
CC_FOR_BUILD= false

I would say CC_FOR_BUILD should be $(CC_FOR_BUILD) or, if it does not exist, $(CC).
