Well, this isn't what you want to hear, but it is a datapoint :).
Coincidently, I've been fooling around with the 2.2.10 kernel (I got the
.deb from the 'Incoming' directory). I've gotten it to compile fine on a
i386 architecture machine with SMP disabled. I've compiled it a bunch of
times without any problems. I really can't imagine why you would have this
problem unless there is another option you're setting that causes a
compilation problem that is somehow corrected when SMP is defined. This
would definitely be a bug, but I'm only speculating. Are you sure your
source distribution is not messed up somehow?
