Hi Garry,
we have tried to do some research for GNU AS replacement with illumos build on SPARC - but GNU binutils (GAS) should be updated a little.
i have filed som bugs and they was resolved, but not at all.
we have used very old SUN AS doc - found by google.
GNU AS for sparc documented in sources.
but - not finished updates - still need additional work.
i can try to found a branch on dilos-illumos with updates, but it is outdated and should be rebased to latest.
I have no time right now for this work.

for your gcc7 bootstrap issue.
as i remember - it was gcc5 last with gcc5+SUN AS possibe bootstrap.
from gcc6 on SPARC - we are using gcc6 + GNU AS (GAS) bootstrap.
also, we are using 64bit as default.
