I can only confirm. nm shows the enable_thinkpadpm symbol in thinkpad.ko
when compiled with gcc-3.3, but no more with gcc-4.0. No idea on how to
prevent this optimization, though.

It returned "-----". I didn't restart tpctl (nor run tpctl --psl=Z
manually) after building and installing the module. Sorry about that,
and thanks!

I can now transition to ACPI with no fear of forgetting to issue apm -s
before carrying my TP.
