I can't reproduce this (built fine in fedora-devel-i386 for me) and don't have
x86_64. If this still happens, could you please replace "./configure" with
"bash -x ./configure" and attach the log here?

I think this is a good idea and have implemented it (the size of the packed
source is 312K vs. 6.5M uncompressed).

Main package:

SPEC: http://v3.sk/~lkundrak/SPECS/VirtualBox-OSE.spec
SRPM: http://v3.sk/~lkundrak/SRPMS/VirtualBox-OSE-2.1.4-1.fc11.src.rpm

Kernel module:

SPEC: http://v3.sk/~lkundrak/SPECS/VirtualBox-OSE-kmod.spec
SRPM: http://v3.sk/~lkundrak/SRPMS/VirtualBox-OSE-kmod-2.1.4-1.fc11.src.rpm

(Tested in Rawhide, there are no issues known to me. I didn't test the kmodsrc
packing change, because of the build taking too long and
