What about /pub/rtems/releases/4.6.0pre5/tools?  I see lots of diffs
newer than what you are refering to:

./rtems-4.6-binutils-2.13.2.1-1/source/binutils-2.13.2.1-rtems-20030901.diff
./rtems-4.6-gcc3.2.3newlib1.11.0-1/source/gcc-3.2.3-rtems-20030826.diff
./rtems-4.6-gcc3.2.3newlib1.11.0-1/source/newlib-1.11.0-rtems-20030605.diff

You have to have a sparc-rtems binutils along with gcc+newlib.  Just
because you are on a sparc machine does not mean that you can use
the native binutils.

In fact, newer binaries for this entire toolchain are on
ftp.rtems.com.

You really shouldn't post to public lists with this disclaimer.
