I've installed the tools from the CD image kindly shared by MIke
Spooner, and it appears to work :-)

After installing (no license), the compiler complains with:

####
-bash-3.2$ /usr/lang/acc toto.c

License Error : Cannot find license file
(/usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat)
       for product (SPARCompiler C)

       The product has not been installed properly.
       There are no license files in following path :

               None
####

adding the raw "ws3.0_sparc.txt" as I downloaded it doesn't work, the
compiler complains about not having a proper license. However, the
information shared by Ron Pool was sufficient to fix the problem:
using "dos2unix" to remove the spurious ^M characters. Putting that in
the above flexlm path enable me to do some basic compilation in C:

####
-bash-3.2$ /usr/lang/acc toto.c
-bash-3.2$ ./a.out
Hello Worlds!
####

I did not try which other tools work and which don't (yet).

HTH & cordially,
