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.
