Output of brew doctor

Please note that these warnings are just used to help the Homebrew maintainers
with debugging if you file an issue. If everything you use Homebrew for is
working fine: please don't worry or file an issue; just ignore this. Thanks!

Warning: Some installed kegs have no formulae!
This means they were either deleted or installed manually.
You should find replacements for the following formulae:
  python-click
  python-attrs
  python-platformdirs
  python-distlib
  python-filelock

Warning: Some installed formulae are deprecated or disabled.
You should find replacements for the following formulae:
  [email protected]
  [email protected]
  python-charset-normalizer
  python-dateutil
  python-idna
  python-requests
  python-urllib3
  vault
  youtube-dl

Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar.
Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause formulae that depend on
those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run `brew link` on these:
  docutils
  [email protected]
  make
  gstreamer
  hub

Warning: You have uncommitted modifications to Homebrew/homebrew-core.
If this is a surprise to you, then you should stash these modifications.
Stashing returns Homebrew to a pristine state but can be undone
should you later need to do so for some reason.
  cd /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core && git stash -u && git clean -d -f

Uncommitted files:
   M Formula/m/make.rb

Warning: Homebrew's "sbin" was not found in your PATH but you have installed
formulae that put executables in /usr/local/sbin.
Consider setting your PATH for example like so:
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

Warning: Broken symlinks were found. Remove them with `brew cleanup`:
  /usr/local/opt/gstreamer

Warning: Some installed formulae are missing dependencies.
You should `brew install` the missing dependencies:
  brew install ffmpeg@6

Run `brew missing` for more details.

Description of issue

I am attempting to produce a HEAD build of GNU make (make.rb from homebrew-core) but it is failing with clang so trying to switch to GCC.

Adding a depends_on "gcc" produces the following output:

HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 brew install --HEAD --verbose make --debug

Somehow my /usr/local/Homebrew/ git was locked and out of date.. updating that solved by issue.
