PPC arch and spinlocks

[Garcia Jérémie]

First of all,tks Jeff for this link. 
So reading that, I understood that I need to enable the SMP support in the makemenuconfig
in order to use spinlocks even if I'm working on UP platform.
That's what I did but I now go through compile errors (I'm using a montavista PE 3.1):

In file included from /myWorks/en-cours/linux-2.4.20_mvl31/include/linux/smp.h:14,
                 from ppc4xx_setup.c:34:
/myWorks/en-cours/linux-2.4.20_mvl31/include/asm/smp.h:28: error: `NR_CPUS' undeclared here (not in a function)

make[1]: Quitte le répertoire `/myWorks/en-cours/linux-2.4.20_mvl31/arch/ppc/kernel'
make: *** [_dir_arch/ppc/kernel] Erreur 2

Is it a known problem for the montavista ppc users??
