Hello Andrew!
I have the following problem on 2.6.15-rc5-mm1
When compiling a module using spinlocks I get the following
error-message, when SMP is disabled in my Kernel-config:

shouldn't it be possible to use spinlocks in my code even if I don't
support SMP for compatiblity ?

Yes. And it used to be true. Certainly one should never use
cli() and sti() so all you have to protect critical sections
from interrupts are spin-locks. This has been broken for some
time so, I suggest you just enable SMP in your .config and
live with it for the time being.
Cheers,

Yes, it is, something must be set up wrong in your compilation. In
particular, are you trying to use old 2.4-style makefiles to build
instead of one that calls the kernel's build system? If so, don't, it
doesn't work..
