This patch adds a 'kcc' shell script that combines the sparse's i386 backend
with GCC and GNU assembler to make it easier for people to find bugs in sparse.
You can, for example, attempt to build sparse with itself and see it crash and
burn:
make && find . -name "*.o" | xargs rm
make CC=./kcc
CC test-lexing.o
FIXME! no value for symbol preprocess_only. creating pseudo 1 (stack offset 4)
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:79: Error: operand type mismatch for `mov'
make: *** [test-lexing.o] Error 1
