smp_num_cpus redefined? (compiling 2.2.18 for non-SMP?)

[Miller, Brendan]

I have a problem that would have started out as "I can't compile my device
driver with 2.2.18".  I was compiling my device driver for non-SMP while my
kernel (and thus /usr/src/linux) was SMP.  So I looked at compiling the
kernel for non-SMP so that my /usr/src/linux would be non-SMP and my device
driver would match.  Well, now just compiling 2.2.18 for non-SMP, I get

I get these same warnings when I compile my driver against either SMP or
non-SMP 2.2.18 source.  FWIW, everything is fine with 2.2.14.  But I need
2.2.18 for the NFS fixups.  I've searched for this "smp_num_cpus" redefined,
and it seems that others have had the same problem, but no solutions have
been posted.

Did I describe the problem adequately?  Is there a solution?

Please cc: me as I'm not on the list.
