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?
