APM bios still doesn't compile in 2.1.122

I had this error in 121 and now in 122 too, although I remember a
comment that it got fixed in 122-pre-?

make[1]: Entering directory `/var/export/src/linux-2.1.122/arch/i386/kernel'
gcc -V2.8.1 -D__KERNEL__ -I/var/export/src/linux-2.1.122/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -march=pentium -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c apm.c
apm.c: In function `apm_get_event':
apm.c:474: fixed or forbidden register was spilled.
This may be due to a compiler bug or to impossible asm
statements or clauses.
cpp: output pipe has been closed
make[1]: *** [apm.o] Error 1

This _could_ be due to the asm usage in apm_bios_call(), but I'm not
enough of an expert...
