You can try installing Solaris 10 Community Release (SXCR) on your box, then  go after GCC-4.1 from Sun Downloads. This includes SPARC optimizations out of the box. Don't forget to read GCC docs about compiling on SPARC for better understanding flags differences.
For compiling, install automake autogen gmake gmk4 autoconf from blastwave.org thru `pkg-get`.
In your environment, set this flags before start `./configure`ing :

--
PATH=/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/opt/onbld/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:\
/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/local/enlightenment/bin:/opt/csw/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/openwin/bin :/usr/ccs/bin

CC=/opt/gcc/bin/gcc

CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/sfw/include -I/opt/csw/include -m32 \
-mcpu=ultrasparc -mtune=ultrasparc -O2'  <- safe mode

LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/sfw/lib -L/opt/csw/lib -R/usr/local/lib -R/usr/sfw/lib -R/opt/csw/lib'

alias tar='gtar'

alias make='gmake'

Don't forget to share your results.

Hope this helps.. Good luck.
