 Did you have oskit 2001 installed in /usr/lib before you installed oskit 2002?

 I'll check again, but neither the debian tarball Jeff made of oskit 2002, nor
my install of oskit 2002 doesn't have liboskit_smp anymore.

 The other part of the patch adds consistency to all compile lines.  I don't
know if I had /local/lib in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH when I compiled oskit-mach, but
I found this to be a simpler solution because I could configure the oskit
library directory with configure; e.g., 
OSKIT_LIBDIR=/local/lib/oskit ../configure

 I needed that patch to compile oskit-mach with a fresh install of oskit 2002
natively under GNU/Hurd.  I had tried simply typing 
../configure && make kernel-ide+ethernet_lance, but it didn't work.

work.
