I'm not sure what the UP above refers to, but the case I bumped into was
building a GENERIC kernel with "options SMP" and "device apic" removed
from the configuration file.  The kernel failed to link due to the missing
softc symbol from mp_machdep.c, which is only compiled into kernels with
"options SMP".  I've not yet caught up on e-mail, so I've not yet seen if
you've seen, but I sent a follow-up message in which I observe the same
problem in non-i386 trees, which will also need to be fixed. 

For benchmarking purposes, I build UP kernels without "options SMP" or
"device apic" for performance reasons.
