In my version of 2.6.33-gentoo I don't see that as a choice in
make menuconfig... none of the winbond lines match what you show
above. The last one below is closest and as you see I have built it
in.

But as you can see I've built in the last two.
After installing that kernel and reboot
The tail of:
sensors-detect
[...]
Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `w83627hf':
* ISA bus, address 0x290
Chip `Winbond W83627THF/THG Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)
Warning: the required module w83627hf is not currently installed
on your system. If it is built into the kernel then it's OK.
Otherwise, check http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for
driver availability.
No modules to load, skipping modules configuration.
Unloading i2c-dev... OK
And following with:
# sensors
No sensors found!
Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.
