[PATCH] cross-sparse

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

	Hi Linus,

I wanted to give sparse a try on m68k, and noticed the current infrastructure
doesn't handle cross-compilation (no sane m68k people compile kernels natively
anymore, unless they run a Debian autobuilder ;-).

After hacking the include paths in the sparse sources, installing the resulting
binary as m68k-linux-sparse, and applying the following patch, it seems to work
fine!

OK to apply?

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
