The installer essentially 'just' installs ready-made tarballs; and the
tarballs can be installed ~entirely independently of each other; and you
can choose which tarballs to install - again, at ~complete liberty to
pick'n'choose what you want; the usual way is via the 'tagfiles' option
in the installer.

I wouldn't think so, given the above re independent-package
installations. But, I'd need to double-check the install script for e.g. gcc
package, to see if it auto-pulls anything in (ref below for links).

There's not a separate '-dev' package per se, at least not like how some
distros split things up.
Ready-made tarballs:
--
ftp://ftp.slackware.no/slackware/slackware64-14.0/slackware64/
gcc is under d/
mpfr/gmp/libmpc are under l/ # NB the 'lib' in the mpc name.
--
Those tarballs are generated (by upstream - not e.g. at install time;
they're just avail for ref) via the '.SlackBuild' scripts that are under:
==
ftp://ftp.slackware.no/slackware/slackware64-14.0/source/
gcc is under d/
mpfr/gmp/libmpc are under l/ # NB the 'lib' in the mpc name.
==
In each package's '/source/' dir, the '${pkg_name}.SlackBuild' script is
the central reference - all of the other materials in the dir are pulled
in from it.
