    My configuration file for building drivers does:

    echo "Checking for SMP capability"
    if uname -v | egrep SMP>/dev/null; then
         echo "CFLAGS += -D__SMP__" >>.config
         echo "This machine has SMP capability"
       else
         echo "This machine is not SMP capable"
    fi

    It works for me. Standard discalimer, 30 m or 30 s.

    Cheers,
