Please give us a bit of context, as:
did you do try to compile it manually (then which command exactly did you type, from where, as root or regular user?)
or did you re-use a Slackware's SlackBuild?
which version are you trying to compile?
I have a minimal installation of Slackware and when it start to build gcc i noticed that i miss a texinfo package
So make a full install, not a minimal one, especially if you want to compile something.
Plus, where does gcc-51e51ef2ffb509e999889519876a0198 come from ? did you pull it from git? If yes, do not expect the Slackbuild shipped with Slackware to work "out of the box".
