If you're building a large project from source and are not using a
system-provided compiler, you should have enough experience with
building stuff from source that you can track libraries down yourself.
Conversely, if you don't have that experience, why in the world are
you not using a provided compiler?

You don't need admin access to install a compiler on Windows. On
Linux, you can generally replicate the environment somewhere else
(unless you're trying to build for some really unusual CPU, in which
case, again, you should first have enough experience to do it
manually), build using the normal methods, and then carry the binary
up to the restricted system.
