Look around on the internet for pre-compiled gcc binaries. Try
  http://smc.vnet.net (suns freeware site.) These binaries are usually
  easy to find. However, most of them are compiled to install under
  /usr/local/. If you do not have write permissions to /usr/local, you
  will need to find binaries compiled to install into a dir you *do* have
  write permissions to.
