Could you say a few words about why the distribution compiler is not

sudo apt-get install build-essential
The 'build-essential' meta-package pulls in libc header files, gcc,
g++, and make and those pull in additional components. Depending upon
what you are compiling you may need additional packages such as bison,
flex, etc. To rebuild a particular package the build dependencies may
be used to install the needed packages.
sudo apt-get build-dep SOMEPACKAGE
For Debian specific items the best forum to ask your questions is
debian-user@lists.debian.org.
