Portable gcc executable?

Question

So I'm trying to break a few rules quietly. GoDaddy doesn't seem too keen on letting me have Git, and for some reason think that one needs root access to run any gcc (crazy web-hosting support teams). As I try to convince them to do what I tell them to, I'm trying to find a gcc that I can send to my server so I can build git on my own and just add it to my $PATH. Anyone have any clues or is this a horrible idea? It was just a random idea, because I'd really like to host some of my projects on my site, but GoDaddy isn't as cool as DreamHost.

Thanks in advance

You could build git locally and upload - you probably wouldn't even have to statically link the executable.
