It would be an excellent service to people who build the OSE sources if the conclusion from ticket 473 could be added to the page with build instructions on the VirtualBox website.

Please read the comment that I added to ticket 473. What I reported is a bug in the VirtualBox OSE build system, the solution mentioned in ticket 473 is only a quick and dirty workaround.
