If you have Workshop/Forte/whatever installed you can use dmake:

NAME
     dmake - DistributedMake

SYNOPSIS
     dmake [-c dmake_rcfile] [-g dmake_group] [-j dmake_max_jobs]
     [-o dmake_odir]

Otherwise GNU make will do what you are looking for, or other make tools
like Smake (by Joerg Schilling, not the SGI make).

You don't need any special permissions to setup and use userland
libraries.
