As you probably have found out already, this IT3107 seems to be a sparc-v8
("LEON") 32bit non-SMP CPU without an FPU.

So as Baruch suggests, i'd try e.g. buildroot.
On debian you might try to build the required stuff for yourself with
the available gcc-multilib-sparc64-linux-gnu cross-compilers if you
prefer.
