Thank you very much.

There is just a problem with the test but it's my fault as I
pointed to you to my tree but the master tree lack a lot of fixes
and have problems when dereferencing function pointers.
So, for the master tree, I propose to use a version with these
tests removed:
	git://github.com/lucvoo/sparse-dev.git pointer-arith-v3
