There is a smaller workaround that is just to increase the number of symbols used to make the compression by changing the "#define WORKING_SET". This should be just a one liner.
The downside of the workaround would be a slightly increased compile time, but it is not *absolutely* obvious that there are no hidden consequences as is required for the stable series.
Anyway, since this is just a compile time bug and people compiling kernels will probably search google when this happens and find the patch themselves, I don't think that it is serious enough for -stable, and we might as well hold on a little more till 2.6.14 is out.
