[vbox-dev] Something wrong with testcases on x86-64

[Manio]

Hello
Current svn revision (the problem exists at least for a month for me) is 
failing to build on 64-bit linux (i am using current debian testing).

If this e-mail is unreadable because of line breaks - please take a look 
at ticket 7375: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/7375

Here is a log from compilation:
kBuild: Linking VBoxSDL

maybe this would be also helpful:

As you can see two of built executables are 32-bit ELFs.
