Ken,

this pretty much looks like a /tmp directory mounted with the "noexec"
option, or equivalent security constraints.

Try unpacking and building in a directory where you can actually execute
compiled programs. If permitted, see the output of "mount" and look for
directory hierarchies without "noexec" flag (assuming Linux).
