Hmm.. It does make sense, but at the same time, sparse isn't even really
supposed to _care_ about the architecture. Especially not for a kernel
build.

Which part breaks when not just using the native sparse? As far as I know,
a kernel build should use all-kernel header files, with the exception of
"stdarg.h" which I thought was also architecture-independent (but hey,
maybe I'm just a retard, and am wrong).
