Hey, please stop such kind of quoting.  Maybe you have forgot to read
*complete* paragraph of my previous letter ?  Especially part of
paragraph you deleted while quoting. 

And according to "my opinion" (in RELENG_4 terms):

: $ wc -l LINT 
:     2886 LINT
: $ grep ^# LINT | wc -l
:     1916

66.4% (or 2/3) of LINT are comments.  So, my opinion is based on current
situation.

Thanks for the hint.  It was helpful hint back in 1996 then I started to use
lint(1).

Is it hard to check facts before answering ?

$FreeBSD: src/sys/i386/i386/mp_machdep.c,v 1.230 2004/01/24 19:52:47 jeff Exp $

: #if defined(I386_CPU) && !defined(COMPILING_LINT)
: #error SMP not supported with I386_CPU
: #endif
: #ifndef DEV_APIC
: #error The apic device is required for SMP, add "device apic" to your config file.
: #endif
: #if defined(CPU_DISABLE_CMPXCHG) && !defined(COMPILING_LINT)
: #error SMP not supported with CPU_DISABLE_CMPXCHG
: #endif

So, I repeat my question "how (based on src/sys/conf/* files) detect these
conflicts and dependencies" ?  I need conceptual answer only.

PS: Answer just for answer is not worth to answer...
