Why don't you build lm_sensors 2.6.3 instead? Usually, the good thing to
do is to use a i2c version and a lm_sensors version as close as
possible.

What's more, I know that Red Hat provide packages for lm_sensors for
quite a good time now. Why don't you simply use them?

And, finally, it is not _that_ difficult to change i2c to a new version,
as long as you don't use the newest 2.8.x releases. You don't have to
patch your kernel. So you could think of installing i2c 2.7.0 and
lm_sensors 2.7.0 instead of using older versions.
