Hmmm... The 'CROSS_COMPILE' means producing a crosscompiler, here one 
for 'sparc-linux-gnu'
$target on a 'sparc64-linux-gnu' or something $host....  Because of this 
you should have the target
binutils installed in the '$tooldir/bin', here 
'/usr/local/gcc/gcc-install/sparc-linux-gnu/bin' just as that
given '-B' option tells !  With bare 'as', 'ld' etc. names...

 Maybe the 64-bit defaulted 'as' in '/usr/bin' doesn't grok this 
option?  It will be tried next if the target 'as'
is not found in '$tooldir/bin'...

 Probably you didn't want a crosscompiler but a native compiler for the 
native 'sparc64-linux-gnu' target?
