That is going to open up a whole lot of hurt. What you want to do in
that case is to:

1. Change Hosting providers to one that will install stuff for you
2. Get a dedicated server that you can compile and install stuff on
3. Change to a specialist hosting provider that does Mapserver already
(HostGIS I think they are called)

Trying to drop a precompiled binary into that situation is *probably*
not going to work, so save yourself the effort now.
