Egad!  Dismal, to answer your question.  I hunted around in the sources
and http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/ezm3/; but cannot figure out
where ezm3 comes from.  Is it something you created from the DEC m3
distribution?

By chance do you have the original GCC sources?  Since it is a Cygnus
release, it has all kinds of "CYGNUS LOCAL" changes and diffing to FSF
2.7.2 wouldn't be the most useful thing.

If you can extract the M3 related diff, it really might be worth it to
update to at least GCC 2.95.4 (or even EGCS 1.1.2, which *might* work).
I noticed that CM3 uses GCC 2.95.2.

I assume you know the "sun" in your configure string is a NOOP.
Since we aren't Sun, I personally would use something else for the port.
sparc64-*-elf32 is your only hope.  And I would not put $$ on it working.
