Great! :-D

How are you installing sparse? (I am using Linux Mint 20, based on
Ubuntu 20.04, whose sparse package version is 0.6.1-2build1 - which
is to say too old; you require version 0.6.2 or greater. Building
from source, I am currently using v0.6.3-76-gf680124b).

[I seem to remember you saying you used Fedora, which usually has
more up-to-date software than most distros].

My concern was more about how the CI system obtains/installs/builds a
sufficiently new version of sparse. Otherwise, 'make sparse' won't do
very much. ;-)  As I said, I don't know what's involved in getting
that to work.
