[vbox-dev] Cannot compile 4.3

[Ramshankar]

Known issue. vbox-img requires static libraries as it is intended as a 
standalone tool which doesn't require the rest of VirtualBox. Either 
your distro doesn't supply the required package or is actively 
discouraging use of such static libraries.

In any case, you can compile VirtualBox without it. Add 
VBOX_WITH_TESTCASES= to your LocalConfig.kmk or pass it to  kmk on the 
command-line.

Regards,
Ram.
