        That's a nice section, but it doesn't issue any statusline
messages there, so it's irrelevant to your question.

        That's a more relevant section, and perhaps you need to do a
clean make to get it used.

        You don't indicate what code you're using, or the platform/flavor,
but that glitch was fixed some time ago, so you shouldn't need to hack
anything -- just build it properly.
