The bootblock is in FORTH so you'll need fgen from 1.4 or a recent
-current.  This is probably not the one you're thinking of.

ofwboot requires an ELF toolchain and an assembler that is capable of
handling sparcv9 instructions.  So the compilers from the ELF snapshots
will probably work, but I think you will need to build the sparc64 version
of gas at a minimum.
