Re: [PATCH] Support SPARSE in Makefile, better SPARSE_FLAGS

I know.  That's what I'm using in the wrapper (plus -m64 and some

sparse support in the Makefile is only possible for the projects that
already know the architecture (e.g. the Linux kernel).

I think that's debatable.  It introduces main-compiler dependencies into 
sparse which is undesirable.

A much simpler option would be to write a "sparsegcc" script which would 
be invoked just like gcc, extract the appropriate macro information 
based on options, and then invoke sparse.
