I have just tried it now, currently there's no difference as far as I
can see:

During running 'make' I run into some errors, but I think this should not 
affect 'ipmi-sensors', as this has been made before:
[...]

Yes, for sure. I'll ask them and let you know the details as soon as I
have an answer.
