.. the uni I'm involved in still has a 1gb quota per student ~ afaik which ... needs some contorsion to be able to fit a GCC build, for sure

Yeah, you can't build modern GCC inside the 1GB quota, but you can probably build it in /tmp or /var/tmp or /scratch or something. The actual built compiler is under 50 MB in GCC 8. And if you're really cramped on quota you can gzexe it, at the cost of painfully slow startup times.
