no exactly, with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK unset kernel boots but still with
1 CPU and the "SMP: CPU:1 is stuck." message, this at 64bit.

at 32bit and CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK unset (both gcc 4.3 & 4.4) i get
the build error i reported in another thread. with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK
set kernel builds and runs nicely.
