Yes, this is a known bug with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS. If you have
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS turned on, and you build a kernel, and then you change
certain options such as CONFIG_SMP, you will get stale *.ver files and
your build will blow up.
Workaround:
copy your /usr/src/linux/.config file somewhere
make mrproper (or remove your whole tree and re-install it)
put your /usr/src/linux/.config file back
make oldconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install (if you want)
Another workaround is to do a make clean, followed by an rm
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/modules/*. This is where the stale *.ver
files live, and they should get cleaned out by a make clean.
A patch to do this to the Linux Makefiles is left as an exercise for the
reader.
