Looking once again, I don't think that's the case.  The warnings do not come 
from the "enum or" operation, but they come from passing the integral result 
to enum variable (or arg).  Instead of weaking my patch, we may improve the 
code of sparse and add explicit casts back to enum:

    .type = (enum keyword) (KW_SPECIFIER | KW_SHORT),
    lookup_keyword(token->ident, (enum namespace) (NS_KEYWORD | NS_TYPEDEF));


The whole problem can be narrowed down to a simple test-case:

    int main()
    {
        enum {
            A = 0x1,
            B = 0x2
        } val = A | B;

        return val;
    }


Here is what sparse gives:
$ ./sparse enum.c
enum.c:1:10: warning: non-ANSI function declaration of function 'main'
enum.c:6:15: warning: conversion of
enum.c:6:15:     int to
enum.c:6:15:     int enum <noident>


Here is what g++ gives:
$ g++ enum.c
enum.c: In function ‘int main()’:
enum.c:6: error: invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘main()::<anonymous enum>’
