The file built on that machine:
00000350: 9101 8a1f 9ff7 33c1 8121 6df2 0000 0087  ......3..!m.....
00000360: 0000 2149 0007 b29e 9106 287e 9f08 cc3f  ..!I......(~...?

So:
0x357: c1 instead of c0
0x36f: 3f instead of 40



Is there any volunteer to modify the build system in such a way that
it will always print this information to stdout/stderr? (Of course not
the vf file differences, but at least the more verbose log.) At the
moment it just says that a test failed, but I now need to log in to
some weird location to be able to get the necessary logs.
