This usually means that your BIOS vendor disabled the "global SMI" bit,
there is not much Xenomai can do about that. You may try other bits,
though, maybe that works (I never tried actuallly, because I never had a
computer where accessing the global SMI bit failed).

Makefile bug, this should be fixed now. But it will probably not change
the fact that your BIOS vendor may prevent you from writing to the SMI
disable bit.
