Hi,

This is caused by you changing from UP to SMP without "make mrproper".
This is a (so far unfixed) bug in the 2.2 build system.
So the solution is to copy the .config to a safe place, type "make
mrproper", copy the .config back and then type "make oldconfig".
If you see more things that don't compile, try the patch at
http://www.fenrus.demon.nl/2.2.18/compile.diff
to see if that fixes it.

Greetings,
