[Valery V. Sedletski]

This is a known problem with iasl.exe from eCS (which was on PATH in d:\ecs\bin\iasl.exe) or, probably, ArcaOS too (I have no ArcaOS, though, to be sure, so, just a guess). Iasl from eCS has problems with long strings. It fails on some files generated by VboxDD.dll build.

So, please use iasl.exe which is supplied with VBox sources. It is in vbox\tools\os2.x86\bin\iasl.exe. So, you can try to remove iasl.exe from PATH and rerun "configure", or, alternatively, you can change VBOX_IASLCMD in AutoConfig.kmk to L:/src/vbox/trunk/tools/os2.x86/bin/iasl.exe, instead of d:\ecs\bin\iasl.exe.

according to slack logs, rklipp got it built with the right iasl. So we close it.
