You're fine with just syssrc, cvs the latest code from the
normal branch, then what I do is cvs the sommerfeld_i386mp_1
into another directory. If I want an MP build I mount_union the
MP arch/i386 over the normal branch and build.

Jason has just commited some changes that will break the MP build
but if you apply the arch/i386 diffs from the email he sent out then
it builds okay.
