Right, it doesn't fixes this error. Actually the output of
make clean; CHECK='sparse -Wno-transparent-union -Wno-old-initializer
-Wno-non-pointer-null' make CC=cgcc > build.out 2>&1
is identical bit by bit with or without Al's patch series.

Works for Wine and removes most of the "error: cannot size expression"
errors. The 7 remaining errors are preceded by "error: bad constant
expression" in the same line. Have to condense those into a test case too.
