Because of sparse-latest.tar.gz has not been updated since 06-Sep-2021,
we are encoutering an old bug,
0e1aae55e49c ("fix "unreplaced" warnings
caused by using typeof() on inline functions") [1], that has been fixed
in the newest version. So, let's switch to the git source tree [2]
instead of using sparse-latest.tar.gz [3].
