but also not the mod.fods or other test files...

Can you try whether this also works if you checkout current master and
just change the line

ifneq ($(PLATFORMID),linux_x86)

to

ifneq ($(PLATFORMID),linux_x86foobar)

in sc/Module_sc.mk to enable the test (disable skipping of the tests)?

yeah, however now prompted to look at git log, it likely is a
unrelated problem, as the revert of the file already happened in July
with 9dc3356f1499a2b90078be86ca7470eb2e96aba8

so when you reintroduced that, you maybe got a little too far back in time :-)

unfortunately the commit doesn't mention *why* the document was
removed (maybe because it spammed people because of the failure on
32bit....)
There even is a comment on the initial gerrit changeset that  added
the file, mentioning it got reverted, but also doesn't list  a reason
there.

Needed the box for the release builds, so no further insight right
now, but should have another build tomorrow..

But if Alex' tree really is from September 1st, then it doesn't have
the test files - you did revert the removal of the testfiles on Sept
16, but removed them already mid August...

So unfortunately Alex' result are non-telling, as the problematic test
files are not part of the checkout then.

ciao
