The thinkpad-5.8 application does not compile with kernels linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r*.

works for me on vanilla-sources-2.6.13_rc3 and gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r5. perhaps you should try one of those?
thinkpad doesn't work for me and doesn't work for anyone else i've talked to gentoo-sources-2.6.14~. i can't confirm yet if this patch alone makes it work, but hopefully this will be looked at more closely please. i'll try to get back with more info
Created attachment 77917 [details, diff] thinkpad-5.8-cpu_ptr.patch Patch with the changes from comment 0.
Created attachment 77918 [details, diff] thinkpad-5.8-pm_legacy.patch This patch was needed due to changes since 2.6.15.
I can confirm that thinkpad fails to build on 2.6.15. Assigning to maintainer.
Upstream has released a new version, 5.9 which I have put into the tree, works here, please reopen if you continue to have any issues. If I don't hear of any issues, will push for this to be stable next week. It is currently marked ~x86.
