bzImage simply isn't used on SPARC arch. You can create an uncompressed kernel
image by doing 'make vmlinux'. As long as you've got the disk space, it's
MUCH quicker to boot uncompressed images anyway. IIRC, 'make vmlinuz' creates
a compressed image.

A good list of which kernels do/don't work on SPARC can be found at:
