it works fine for me with a self-compiled kernel 2.6.9,
gcc 3.3.4 and make 3.80.  gcc 3.5 is also ok except for a warning:

% make CC=gcc-3.5
...
/usr/local/src/ibm-acpi-0.6/ibm_acpi.c: In function `acpi_evalf':
/usr/local/src/ibm-acpi-0.6/ibm_acpi.c:191: warning: second parameter of `va_sta
...

Have you checked that the kernel contains the right acpi patch?
Maybe it is too new or too old?
