Bugzilla Bug 188858

Although built with USE=smp, `erl' doesn't run with the -smp parameter by
default.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install dev-lang/erlang with USE=smp
2. Start erl
3. Run 2+ processes that consume much cpu: loop() -> loop().
4. Start top
5. See how beam consumes at most 100% cpu on a SMP system
Actual Results:  
Erlang is about concurrency, multi-core systems become more widespread.

Expected Results:  
beam should consume up to 100%*n cpu, where n is the number of CPUs installed

When the ebuild is built with USE=smp, apply this patch:

Does upstream know about it?  If not, please do us a favour and report it to
them...

If you have patches, please attach them to the bug.  For this bug I did not use
a patch but sed as it was easier.

Don't worry, I reported it myself, as I had some more issues to tell them.
