The relationship with GNU & SUN would be that the SUN & VAX were the first target
platforms for GCC/GAS/Binutils. So it would have been expected that if you were running a
68000 version of GCC it’d probably be running on a SUN-2 or SUN-3. Not to mention it was
their build platform as mentioned here:
ftp://ftp.cs.purdue.edu/pub/comer/XINU-68K.README
There is some additional platforms here:

I haven’t tried to run any of it yet though.

someone... Completely unrelated but I thought it’d be interesting
to someone. Apparently it can be built with GCC/GAS/Binutils from a
680x0 based SUN.
Small clarification: The AT&T 3B1 isn't related to Suns. It was
made for AT&T by Convergent. It was a nice box; I owned one for a while
and have many happy memories thereof.
Hmmm, are there other Xinu versions in the archive?
Thanks,
