My bad, sorry.  I tested in on a standalone driver.  Here's a version
tested on the actual kernel tree:

make CC="gcc -save-temps -D__CHECKER__" KBUILD_NOCMDDEP=1

KBUILD_NOCMDDEP=1 prevents rebuilding other files when CC changes.  If
you still get stuck on another file, please also add "-k" to the command
line.
