not at all! I guess you mean "oklib all" ?
As you can see, looking into the makefile 
OKplatform/OKsystem/OKlib/Buildsystem/ExternalSources/Makefile
"all" first creates all compilers, but as you can see in
OKplatform/OKsystem/OKlib/Buildsystem/ExternalSources/SpecialBuilds/maxima.mak
"allmaxima" means ecl gnuplot maxima.

There is a good chance that this wouldn't work; so where gcc is needed,
there we rely on the local installation.
