On what kind of sparc machine?  It sounds like you tried to run the code 
on a sparc-solaris or sparc-linux machine, which won't work.  sparc-elf 
code can only be run on bare hardware.

Try building a cross gdb, and then using the sparc-elf-run simulator. 
You can also try using the sparc-elf-gdb, but you will have to read the 
docs to learn how to do it.
