Yes, it's very possible.
As I said, in another mail yesterday, output_op_ptrcast()
need some changes. It makes the assumption that the cast
is always between type of the same size (and so generate
a LLVM's bitcast). But in sparse, OP_PTRCAST is used for
all cast to a non-void pointer type.

Yes, please.
