Hi,

Actually Virtual Box does not build in a 64-bit only environment.

My machine is an AMD64 machine.  AMD Turion64 processor.
  Linux 2.6.24
  No 32-bit libraries anywhere on the system
  The kernel is built without support for 32bit code


First problem:  Config script checks to build 32bit libs.

-------------
Checking for environment: Determined build machine: linux.amd64, target
machine: linux.amd64, OK.
........
Checking for 32-bit support:
  Cannot compile 32-bit applications (missing headers and/or libraries)!
  Check the file /home/zadio/virtualbox/vbox/configure.log for detailed
error information.
-------------


For now, lets comment out that 32bit build check.
Comment out this line (Line #1867)
------------------
[ "$BUILD_MACHINE" = "amd64" ] && check_32bit
------------------


Second Problem:  kmk tries to build a 32bit binary:

------------------------
kBuild: Compiling RuntimeGC - common/log/log.cpp
In file included from /usr/include/features.h:345,
                 from /usr/include/stdint.h:26,
                 from /home/tim/virtualbox/vbox/include/iprt/stdint.h:49,
                 from /home/tim/virtualbox/vbox/include/iprt/types.h:34,
                 from /home/tim/virtualbox/vbox/include/iprt/log.h:34,
                 from
/home/tim/virtualbox/vbox/src/VBox/Runtime/common/log/log.cpp:35:
/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:7:27: error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or
directory
------------------------

This is from the latest SVN CO (Revision 8516).

Any thoughts?
