cc -O _autotst.c -o _autotst -s
./initmake: cc: execute permission denied

It looks like your sysadmin is too paranoid, and has made the C
compiler unexecutable to you (and presumably most of the rest of the
users).  This is kinda pointless as you could just as well have someone
email you a binary.  You should talk with your sysadmin (try sending
email to "root") and convince them that you need to use the C
compiler.  This may turn into a tangle of site policy control, so good
luck!
