Shouldn't the compiler be included in the gcc package repository? Is
this an issue of a dependency that wasn't installed or an error in the
repo?

As the installation instruction say, we recommend against running
./configure. Run configure in an empty directory instead. I recommend
unpacking the sources from scratch to avoid confusion left behind by
./configure.
However, your specific problem is this:
configure:2156: gcc conftest.c >&5
gcc: error trying to exec 'as': execvp: No such file or directory
You don't have an assembler on your path. Your compiler--the one you
are going to use to build gcc--doesn't work.
