Have you thought about bootstrapping the process. You could use an linux distro that supports sparc and then build the binaries there. Once you have a working system you can compile everything again to eliminate the dependencies on the host system.
I suppose a chroot would be enough to get something decent quite quickly.
I have always found it very hard to cross compile .

I do use a sparc machine with a sparc OS (CentOS). Seem using -mcpu=v9 helps a lot.
