I'm currently about to write the BLFS book pages for VirtualBox. On my system 
here - which is a 32bit - VirtualBox runs fine.  At the moment, the only 
thing i can give to you is to make sure that you dont have set some makeflags 
(here -j) when compiling apcica. This caused errors here, too. For the 
AcpiGbl_functions stuff i need to have a closer look.

I cannot see any config options displayed. In which directory are you doing 
the make?  for the iasl its simply a "cd compiler && make".

Finally, just in case i wasn't clear enough, the only requirement for 
VirtualBox is the iasl compiler. Seems so that the rest could be left out.
Does that helps a bit?
