You're describing a cross-built native, not a canadian. http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Configure-Terms.html Whenever --target=foo and build!=host, you need to have a pre-built foo-gcc that runs on $build. One obvious bug I see in your scripts is that you are specifying --host without also specifying --build. The documentation explicitly tells you to never do that. Your last step is attempting to build a NATIVE compiler, assuming that the machine it's running on is sparc-linux.
