SBCL requires a (reasonably compliant) ANSI Common Lisp compiler to build, just like gcc requires a C compiler to build. One compiler that can be used to compile SBCL is CLISP, which in turn can be built with a C compiler, so if you want to you can bootstrap from gcc.
It's a lot easier to just download a binary version of SBCL and using that to build with, though.
