builds fine here. I suggest you to remove the file

  /usr/src/vbox/out/linux.amd64/release/bin/tstVMStructRC

and try to recompile the package. You also might want to do 'svn update'
before. The current revision (r31975) builds fine here on different
hosts.

Btw, any reason why are you compiling under /usr/src? You don't compile
VBox as root, do you?

Kind regards,

Frank
