Looks like you may have some old object files lying around from the last 
compile; try the following commands (as root):

cd /usr/src/linux
cp .config /root
make mrproper
cp /root/.config ./
make dep
make bzImage modules modules_install

That should let you compile the kernel without SMP support having to be 
enabled =)  Basically, 'make mrproper' cleans out *everything*, including 
your previous configuration (hence the copying of the config file back and 
forth) -- leaving you with a pristine kernel tree.
