I guess you will have to install a number of GNU tools in your SOlaris
system, including GNU make, gcc, and binutils.  Sorry, I have no idea
what's available in Solatis these days - I stopped using this
environment in the days of Solaris 2.6, i. e. _some_ time ago.

U-Boot depends in a number of areas on GNU tools. Eventually you can
find pre-built packages you just have to install (there used to be
such repositories, long ago though).  Otherwise you will have to build
from the sources.

Alternatively, install Linux (eventually in a VM).

Best regards,
