I'd expect them to be compatible.

So the default cpu built into your gcc is probably v7 (that's the
default if none is specified when gcc is configured).  Did this program
run on the sun4m?  If this simple program doesn't work, then maybe it's
2.6 -> 2.7 that's the problem, not sun4u -> sun4m.

I don't think that'll help, but it can't hurt to try.
