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.
