You need the Solaris headers and libraries, too -- after all you're compiling for Sparc/Solaris, not Sparc/GNU. Even if you do get a working sparc compiler on x86, you could be plagued with weird issues. You wouldn't even have a way to test your executables.
My suggestion would be to just get a sparc on ebay.
I would second everything Corona688 has said here, you can pick up an ultra 5 or 10 on Ebay for peanuts these days, and would be a more worthwhile invesment than the time it would take to get the cross compile working.

NAME
README.riscos - Perl version 5 for RISC OS
DESCRIPTION
This document gives instructions for building Perl for RISC OS. It is complicated by the need to cross compile. There is a binary version
of perl available from <http://www.cp15.org/perl/> which you may wish to use instead of trying to compile it yourself.
BUILD
You need an installed and working gccsdk cross compiler <http://gccsdk.riscos.info/> and REXEN <http://www.cp15.org/programming/>
Firstly, copy the source and build a native copy of perl for your host system. Then, in the source to be cross compiled:
1.
$ ./Configure
2. Select the riscos hint file. The default answers for the rest of the questions are usually sufficient.
Note that, if you wish to run Configure non-interactively (see the INSTALL document for details), to have it select the correct hint
file, you'll need to provide the argument -Dhintfile=riscos on the Configure command-line.
3.
$ make miniperl
4. This should build miniperl and then fail when it tries to run it.
5. Copy the miniperl executable from the native build done earlier to replace the cross compiled miniperl.
6.
$ make
7. This will use miniperl to complete the rest of the build.
