removing file doesn't help at all

i can compile if i do:
cp /bin/true /usr/src/vbox/out/linux.amd64/release/bin/tstDeviceStructSizeRC
then kmk again
after that i need to:
cp /bin/true /usr/src/vbox/out/linux.amd64/release/bin/tstVMStructRC
then kmk again
and when it stops on tstAsmStructsRC i am doing:
cp /bin/true /usr/src/vbox/out/linux.amd64/release/bin/tstAsmStructsRC
after that it builds fine to the end.
But this is only an ugly workaround and not solving a problem.

it's obviously to me that i make a full checkout and test several times before 
i am starting to report a problem to the ML

yes i was compiling as root (any reason why can't i?) Of course i know the 
difference between root account and normal user account and i am not saying 
that i am running vbox as root.
But to be sure as you point out: i compiled it one more time - but this time as 
normal user (i did fresh checkout before) and i've got similar results:
