The specific error message is:
    sparse-llvm.c:6:11: error: unable to open 'llvm-c/Core.h'
but the cause is simply because the LLVM CFLAGS are used like:
    sparse-llvm.o: BASIC_CFLAGS += $(LLVM_CFLAGS)
but selfcheck/cgcc, correctly, doesn't know about BASIC_CFLAGS.

Chris should be already aware of it and is busy to cook a patch
changing the way the CFLAGS are used.
