The complete sparc to mc68030 environment requires that you build a
X-ld program supplied in the 'binutils' package, I think the current
released version is 1.94 or so. The 'ld' function built will take
the 68k gas output and create an executable.

If you've already compiled the GNU ld, and got the above error, then
you may not have 'configured' the build correctly. You should have
configured with a line something to the effect of:

configure -host=sun4 -target=sun3

(may be off modulo some dashes, but there is doc in the bintuils
directory with examples).

However, your stated command line seems to indicate that you're
using the sparc 'ld' rather than
'/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sun3/2.2.2/ld' (or something to that
effect).


As a practice, I've set up the m68k ld to be in /usr/local/bin/ld68k
which may be linked to the ugly path list above. Similarly, gcc68k
and gas68k would be linked to the appropriate m68k executables. This
prevents the inadvertent use of the host's native tools and the
resulting 'wrong machine....' error messages.
