It's fixed since a little while. So, just doing a clean build or removing all the deps (.*.d) should allow you to build sparse. I've verified the problem with asm and __inline in quota.h: it's autodetected by kconfig (CC_HAS_ASM_INLINE) so the exact config doesn't matter (only gcc's version does) but in all cases recent versions of sparse don't have a problem with it (an upstream version of `sparse --version` should return "v0.6.1-rc1-37-gd466a0281").
