Thank you very much for this hint! Actually I see only one new patch
which is different from the *etch3 kernel

  bugfix/fcntl_setlk-close-race.patch

and this patch cannot be responsible for your compile problems. Your
error message look more like you are trying to compile vboxdrv against
an x86_64 kernel but ARCH is set (for some reason) to i386. Which
should not happen if your kernel was configured on a x86_64 system.

Kind regards,

Frank
