    Whenever I build a kernel (2.2.12) with SMP and MODVERSIONS, the built
    kernel has versioned symbols, but they don't include 'smp'. So booting
    it fails horribly since all the /lib/modules are looking for 'smp'

    This seems to be because linux/module.h includes modversion.h instead of
    modversions-smp.h

    Is something in the build process supposed to link linux/include/modversions.h
    to the smp version?

    My only solution is to patch module.h to say

        # ifdef __SMP__
        # include <linux/modversions-smp.h>
        # else
        # include <linux/modversions.h>
        # endif
