ok, I'm a bit rusty on my kernel compiles (been using solaris for some time now...)
but it looks to me like you've got a problem with smp definitions. If you can verify
that your src distribution does not have any missing files, then maybe you should 
try a make {dist}clean before re-running the make config ; make dep ; ....



Anybody else got suggestions?
