[ros-dev] How does one make a MP build anyway?

[WaxDragon]

I use the damnsmalllinux (DSL) livecd, and it works just fine with
-smp 2 and 4 under qemu 0.8.0, and as I said in the original post, I
see the same error on my Abit BP6.

The first question I want answered is "Am I building the MP build correctly?"
