1. This not not obvisouly to me, therefore I'm asking.
2. I asked you to do 'svn update' because there were changes in the
   tree after you wrote this report. It is necessary to start from
   a defined starting point.

Please send me the binary

  /home/manio/vbox/out/linux.amd64/release/bin/tstVMStructRC

via private E-mail. Also please do

  rm -f \
/home/manio/vbox/out/linux.amd64/release/obj/tstVMStructRC/tstDeviceStructSizeRC
  rm -f \
/home/manio/vbox/out/linux.amd64/release/obj/tstVMStructRC/tstVMStructRC.o
  kmk tstVMStructRC KBUILD_VERBOSE=2

and send me the complete output.

Regarding compiling VBox as root: Of course you can do that but it is
uncommon; you know, execute everything with the least possible privilege.
But right, it does not matter which account you are using, the results
should be the same.

Kind regards,

Frank
