this looks to me like a bug of Gentoo and not a bug of VirtualBox. The VirtualBox 4.2.4 kernel driver sources compiles fine against 3.7 vanilla sources. VirtualBox 4.1.22 is a separate problem (it was released prior to Linux 3.7). Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing. Frank Mehnert | Software Development Director, VirtualBox ORACLE Deutschland B.V. & Co.
