Patching the kernel worked fine for me in the past, but I'll follow
your advice.

I gave it another try, here's what I did. This is lm-sensors-source
2.4.4-1 and kernel 2.2.19 (built from kernel-source-2.2.19-3).
1. check Makefile in ./i2c
2. make in i2c using the lm-sensors method (that's completely outside
the of the kernel source tree without versioning info, right?)
3. make install, depmod -a
4. check Makefile in ./lm_sensors2
5. make in lm_sensors2
6. it bails out (long):
