 regression tests in trunk do not show errors?!

 'teeks99-1a-win7-32on64' : rev. 82379 from 7.1.2013 msvc 10.0/11.0 ->
 pass, 'teeks99-1a-win7-64on64' : rev. 82376 from 6.1.2013 msvc 11.0 ->
 pass, 'id' : rev. 82359 from 4.1.2013 msvc 9.0 -> pass, ...

 maybe some modifications in the toolchain might cause the linker error?!
