Problems compiling the kernel

[rxf gmx net (Reinhard X. Fuerst)]

Hi,

I did a fresh install of RH7, installed the kernel-source... rpm
and tried to compile it.
It stops with an error in ksyms.c:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also used kgcc with the same error.

The problem is the identifier smp_num_cpus. It's defined in smp.h and kernel_stat.h 
includes smp.h. I do not understand, why this identifier is undefined. ( I dont want 
to build an smp-kernel)

Any help appreciated

regards
  Reinhard
