As said earlier, I have tried to fix genksyms, but the simple fix was
not enough. The correct fix would be somehow more involved, and I have
zero experience in genksyms source. I'm afraid I don't know this
source well enough to offer a fix in the foreseeable future, so I
resorted to the workaround (which at the end of the day is as
effective as the real fix).
