That should certainly also be in the instructions. That said, some people do 
not have working autotools setups, so invoking GCC is simpler for some.

If you are creating a Linux package you should definitely use the autotools via 
autoreconf. The resulting metamath executable will be more optimized, resulting 
in some faster operations.
