Subject: Re: sparse on scripts/kconfig/*.c

I have created some new tools to make this process easier.

1) First you still have to edit the Makefile:

-HOSTCC       = gcc
+HOSTCC       = ~/progs/smatch/devel/cgcc

2) Build the data with this command:

	~/progs/smatch/devel/smatch_scripts/build_generic_data.sh --target scripts/

The --target scripts/ is because we want to run smatch on the scripts/
directory.

3) Run smatch:

	~/progs/smatch/devel/smatch_scripts/test_generic.sh --target scripts/

I just wrote this code today so it might be a bit rough perhaps.  Let me
know if you have any issues.  It doesn't find anything like I said
before, but hopefully this can help other people who want to run Smatch
on user space code.
