Err.....Archer wasn't a priority target for Gil for that reason. Gil hates the idea of imitators, he is notably offended by Shirou/Archers powers at a fundamental level, thus he would go out of his way to attack Archer/Shirou in that situation. In UBW, Shirou isn't afforded the protection of being the "Master of Saber", thus Gilgamesh is more happy to attack him as well. That is the main reason Gil tolerates leaving Shirou alive so many times in the Fate route, as it would (slightly) inconvenience Gilgamesh if Saber lost her connection before they got the Lesser Grail.

So no, he wasn't considered a threat by Gilgamesh, he targeted Archer specifically because he was an eyesore.
