That seems to be the case here, e.g.  "__pure int pure1(long x);"
Currently sparse parse it as:
<node pure1>
    <function>
        <base type int>  [pure]

Ideally it should be:
<node pure1>
    <function> [pure]
        <base type int>

There is reason sparse does that. Sparse parse "__pure int" as a base
type to hold the __pure. The parse don't know if that is a function or
a function
pointer yet.

I haven't look at move the [pure] to function node. That is likely
a much bigger change.
