Quick sparse HOWTO
Randy Dunlap
2004-JULY-25

in kernel tree, 'make help' says:

  make C=1   [targets] Check all c source with checker tool

To build & install sparse:

"checker tool" is built as "check" but then installed as "sparse".

a.  unpack the tarball or export the bk tree
b.  cd path/to/sparse
c.  make
d.  make install     # default location is in user's $HOME/bin

...then do your target build, e.g.,

make allmodconfig     # or defconfig or whatever
make C=1 all >build.out 2>&1     # to capture all messages
