You need to use gcc. Unreal is not compatible with any other compiler to my knowledge,

try, setting the CC environment variable (export CC="bcc" on sh shells).

Although I have no idea why an admin would deny GCC access for "stability"...

Probably to prevent someone creating a fork bomb or the like, mind you any sane admin would just have limits on the user.

There's nothing stopping someone from using any other C compiler to do it...

gcc's probably the only one they've heard of. You know how many people without a clue run servers, aquanight ;)
