I'm not sure what you're doing wrong but GCC is regularly tested on Solaris
on very fast SPARC machines:
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-testresults/2025-September/thread.html
Search for »sparc-sun«.
In fact, the GCC Compile Farm actually has a SPARC T8:
https://portal.cfarm.net/machines/list/
Search for »cfarm216«.

If you've got Solaris running, you can just install it inside an LDOM.
See: https://wiki.debian.org/Sparc64#Creating_an_LDOM_to_install_Debian_in
I will create a proper guide for that once I find the time for that.
PS: Please always check the open issues on SPARC on the sparclinux tracker
when you run into problems or crashes.
Thanks,
Adrian
