The situation here with an old gcc is really an oddity.
I was instead thinking to update sparse so that it repports a
GCC version of at least 4.6, maybe something even more recent.

But maybe, yes, kbuild could pass GCC_VERSION to sparse so
that both the compiler used and sparse will repport the same.
I'll see. The problem is not tied to cross-compilation, though,
just that sparse may be compiled with an older compiler.
