Subject: [2.6.24-rc2] make C=1 killed by sparse 0.4 choking on kernel/sched.c

When trying to build 2.6.24-rc2 with checking by sparse 0.4,
my "make" run dies with:

  CHECK   kernel/sched.c
kernel/sched.c:3616:15: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different signedness)
kernel/sched.c:3616:15:    expected long *switch_count

I don't quite know what to make of this. It looks like a bug in
sparse, but kernel/sched.c is perhaps not quite innocent either.
Also it doesn't seem right that the entire kernel compilation
aborts just because of a failed sparse run.

Opinions?

Thanks,
Tilman
