Getting sparse

be recompiled or not. The latter is a fast way to check the whole tree if you
have already built it.
-The optional make variable CHECKFLAGS can be used to pass arguments to sparse.
-The build system passes -Wbitwise to sparse automatically. To perform
-endianness checks, you may define __CHECK_ENDIAN__:
+The optional make variable CF can be used to pass arguments to sparse. The
+build system passes -Wbitwise to sparse automatically. To perform endianness
+checks, you may define __CHECK_ENDIAN__:
- make C=2 CHECKFLAGS="-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__"
+ make C=2 CF="-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__"
These checks are disabled by default as they generate a host of warnings.
