Neither. The sparc-simulator code inside of the ancient version of gdb
sparc-rtems4.7-gdb is based on is broken and fails to build on newer
hosts (such as Fedora and SuSE).

I believe to have fixed this issue by having upgraded
sparc-rtems4.8/9-gdb to more recent versions and by hacking up the code
of sparc-rtems4.8-gdb + sparc-rtems4.9-gdb, but haven't gotten around
yet to look into rtems-4.7-gdb ... :)
