Linus,

Ok... Here's one back to you.
I went to build 2.2.0pre2 on several systems including a Pentium Pro. The PPro configuration blew up with this compile error:
] chaos:/usr/src/linux# make bzImage ] gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/u/src/linux-2.2.0pre2/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -c -o init/main.o init/main.c ] /u/src/linux-2.2.0pre2/include/asm/bugs.h: In function `check_config': ] In file included from init/main.c:27: ] /u/src/linux-2.2.0pre2/include/asm/bugs.h:354: `smp_found_config' undeclared (first use this function) ] /u/src/linux-2.2.0pre2/include/asm/bugs.h:354: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once ] /u/src/linux-2.2.0pre2/include/asm/bugs.h:354: for each function it appears in.) ] make: *** [init/main.o] Error 1 ] chaos:/usr/src/linux#
Reconfigured to 586/K5/5x86/6x86 and it compiled fine. Reconfigured back to PPro/K6/6x86MX and it blew up with the same error. This is a UP build.
Pentium/TSC configuration also builds fine. PPro/K6/6x86MX with SMP also builds fine. It's just the PPro/K6/6x86MX UP that cooks.
