Many thanks for the prompt reply Jean :)

I went with your recommended patches for starters.  Had to use -p3 (not
in expected directory?).  The build is for Slackware64 13.1, upgraded to
kernel 2.6.38.7 running on an ASUS PBH67-V motherboard which has a
Nuvoton NCT6776F -- as the newly installed lm_sensors 3.3.1
sensors-detect now reports :)

These are the download and patch commands used:

gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 38F02FC8

cd /tmp \
  && rm -fr lm_sensors-3.3.1 \
  && wget
http://dl.lm-sensors.org/lm-sensors/releases/lm_sensors-3.3.1.tar.bz2 \
  && wget
http://dl.lm-sensors.org/lm-sensors/releases/lm_sensors-3.3.1.tar.bz2.sig \
  && gpg --verify lm_sensors-3.3.1.tar.bz2.sig \
  && tar -jxvf lm_sensors-3.3.1.tar.bz2 \
  && cd lm_sensors-3.3.1 \
  && wget --output-document=patch_5991 \
    'http://www.lm-sensors.org/changeset/5991?format=diff&newY91' \
  && wget --output-document=patch_5992 \
    'http://www.lm-sensors.org/changeset/5992?format=diff&newY92' \
  && wget --output-document=patch_5993 \
    'http://www.lm-sensors.org/changeset/5993?format=diff&newY93' \
  && wget --output-document=patch_5999 \
    'http://www.lm-sensors.org/changeset/5999?format=diff&newY99' \
  && patch -p3 < patch_5991 \
  && patch -p3 < patch_5992 \
  && patch -p3 < patch_5993 \
  && patch -p3 < patch_5999

BTW, make PREFIX=/tmp/tmp installed to /usr/local

After installing to /usr/local the following symlink was required to
allow GKrellM to start:

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libsensors.so.4 /usr/lib64/libsensors.so.4

Best
