chrisl master branch patches

Hi Chris,

I noticed, this afternoon, that you have pushed new patches to your public repo on kernel.org (including most of the patches from my 'misc sparse patches' series). After a quick test, I noticed a few minor problems (see first two patches).

I don't know how you like to manage your public repo, but if you don't mind re-winding your master branch, then you could squash patch #1 into commit e23abfd and patch #2 into fe57afa.

The third patch is actually a re-send of one I sent separately after the 10 patch series.

The final patch is a possible alternative to "[PATCH 04/10] compile-i386.c: don't mix calls to write(2) with stdio", which basically just removes the compile program. If you prefer another solution, just let me know.

[Note: I have been living with the RFC patch #10 for quite a while now with no problems. However, it was just a quick hack to speed up cgcc/sparse on Cygwin and, on reflection, not a good reason to introduce a sparse configuration file! Also, the use of the perl language for the config file can be viewed as a bit cute (too cute for some people). I will probably keep it as a locally applied patch on cygwin (it is a noticeable speedup on cygwin), but remove it on Linux.]

Ramsay Jones (4):
test-suite: remove bashism to avoid test failures
cgcc: avoid passing a sparse-only option to cc parse.c: remove duplicate 'may_alias' ignored_attributes
compile: remove the unmaintained compile program
