Just a guess, but in your original message, you put

 >>>> 'cp .config SOURCES/kernel-2.6.12-i686.config'

which indicates you were using the i686 non-SMP config file,
but your error output suggests you were building an SMP version of a 
kernel rpm.

Perhaps you should have started with the SMP config file,

kernel-2.6.12-i686-smp.config

I didn't run into any problems compiling but I turned off building SMP 
in the spec file:    %define buildsmp 0
