This line just above is signalling the issue.
Buildin multi-core is not maintained. You should use fusion.ko, the 
kernel module.
First get this build/installed, and then you will need to run 
./configure again,
and make sure you don't see this in ./configure output:
"Linux-Fusion header not found. Using EXPERIMENTAL Builtin Multi 
application core!"
