That's not strong enough. After `make config' to turn off SMP, I ran
the recommended `make dep clean bzImage' which produced the error trace
I presented. The command `make mrproper' resets things correctly,
but it also does this:

rm -f .version .config* config.in config.old

Which will destroy my hard won configuration. Bummer.
