smp_num_cpus undeclared workaround

smp_num_cpus undeclared workaround

[Scott Bronson]

Kernel 2.4.19:

I was being plagued by the smp_num_cpus undeclared problems that seems
be circulating since the 2.3 days.  I appear to have triggered it by
turning SMP on, doing a full build, and then turning it off.  No
combination of make clean/dep/etc fixes it.  Finally, in desperation, I
tried:

        cp .config ~/config.bak
        make mrproper
        cp ~/config.bak .config
        make

And that fixed it.  Surprising.  Has anyone looked into what file
isn't being properly cleaned?  Given the LKML traffic that this
problem has generated, this should probably be fixed.


Thanks,

    - Scott

Dammit, I'm sorry about this...

Everything here is true, but this message is incomplete.  I wanted to do
some more research before posting this so I told Evolution to "Send
Later."

Apparently, to Evolution, Send Later means Send in About 15 Minutes.

I'll post again after I've played around some more.  Again, my
apologies.

Looks like Evolution is Darwinian, after all ;)

Unfortunately for me, yes.  PEBKAC: I needed to use "Save as Draft," not
"Send Later."

And, now, this 100% reproducible link error is not reproducing for me. 
I thought I had it.  Bah!  Well, I'll continue to keep an eye out for
it.
