I would expect what you are trying to work.
And I certainly would not expect a segmentation fault.

I suspect that the version of Sparse you have is causing this problem
(although it is just a wild guess). I would suggest installing
from git. http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/sparse.git

The current HEAD is commit 0196afe16a50 ("Merge branch 'riscv'").
I have exercised it quite a lot.

For reference, I also use:
GCC 15.1.0 from here: https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/
Clang 20.1.8 from here: https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/llvm/
(Because they are the latest non -rc compilers available there)
