2.1.129-pre5 fails to compile on alpha

I'm suffering the 2.1.12[67] freeze problem with an UP alpha box
(and UP kernel).

Now I'm trying to compile a SMP kernel without success. Well, it's
hard to find a 2.1.12? kernel that just compiles for alpha :(
I'm using 2.1.122, it freezes if I try to "insmod nfs" but it's able
to compile things :-) (2.1.12[67] aren't).

This is the last problem I've had, building 2.1.129-pre5 SMP:
