If you can get the Sun BCPL compiler working (do NetBSD or Linux support running M68K SunOS executables?), you could use that to compile an Amiga executable of the compiler.
I've found that src under "os-source/v40/tools/src/bcpl" and notice some of the filenames are the wrong case for the "bcpl.ld" target (so clearly the src was copied off an Amiga and not a Sun!).

There are two Sun 68K binaries -- one for a 68010 and the other for 68020. It looks like NetBSD/sun3 on The Machine Emulator might run the latter if some libs are copied from https://winworldpc.com/product/sunos/3x. It might also be possible to emulate SunOS 3 or use Linux.

A friend had one of the Sun 68K systems but it was about the size of a huge washing machine and I'm not sure it ever worked!
