I just blithely installed 'build-essential' because that had been necessary
in the past. And it works! But one could be more questioning.
Starting with a newly minted Mint xfce, so easy to do as a Virtual Machine,
there is indeed a gcc 4.8.2 already there. Starting an rpcemu 0.8.11 build
./configure indicates "configure: error: C compiler cannot create
executables, See `config.log' for more details", which didn't help much.
Trying to compile a simple "Hello World" failed but that did indicate that
"stdio.h" was missing.
Headers then. All that needs to be installed is 'lib6-dev', which is
included in 'build-essential'.
(This answer might not be totally correct either.)

'liballelegro4-dev' is available from Synaptic.
