Is this kind of "clean room" approach really necessary?  The
alternative would be to download some existing 'sparc-elf'
targeted toolchain for MinGW host from the net, then look what
it includes and so learn what on earth to build, the toolchain
docs probably telling also how to reinvent the wheel via doing
the same build oneself... For instance :
