I'm not sure, but I would imagine that all the different builds aren't
supported on all the different platforms. It may be that bzImage isn't
a valid target for the Sparc architecture. If you can build a vmlinux
image, that is what you need to boot. I don't think that Sparcs have
theh same boot image restrictions that many PCs have (and why the
compressed images are important).
