You have scp. Depending on your disk quota, you may be able to scp
other executables that you need. You just need to be sure they are
compatible with the libc in your /usr/lib/.

Do you have access to /etc/apache/httpd.conf? (location may vary)

There are a number of minor details. But the way chroot works, every
file you will need must be in your chroot environment (symlinks don't
even work, IIRC). Your real limit is disk space. You might even be
able to scp gcc to the server in your $HOME.
