It's shocking to hear that a sys admin can say such nonsense.
What a strange queue system that would be ...
SGE worked fine for us with any compiler.
Just make sure you set all the environment variables in your submission
scripts and all required directories are available on the slave nodes.
ldd cpmd.x might help you to find out what it needs.

gfortran is supposed to work but I have not tried it yet.
