Didn't work. Building the kernel gave me undefined symbols .D_VERSION
and D_NEEDGIANT or some such -- I didn't record the exact messages.
Well, it was worth to try.

Ineffective. But I can get battery status to work by briefly taking out

AC, and a working battery status is much more interesting when I *don't*
have AC available.
Thanks for your help anyway.
