I used the same strategy, and GCC is still on my harddisk, but that it is not needed.
Somewhere in the config-files of interviews there is something like
"makedepend = use gcc "
This makes the compilation use gcc -M as an alternative for makedepend.
That works better.
(I still don't manage to compile it though)
