Hi John,

you get a lot of

> /etc/init.d/tc-functions: 72: Syntax error: Bad substitution

I could only find out that this file is related to Tiny Core Linux, but not what it does (especially not why the heck it gets executed all the time as part of executing kmk recipes - the SHELL variable should be pointing to kmk_ash, and I wouldn't see why it would look at this file).

I suspect that this causes a lot of confusion (and it's very obviously totally unrelated to VirtualBox)...

Is it possible to perform this step manually with different parameters to fix 
things?

could you do the following:

  $ rm 
/usr/src/VirtualBox-5.1.20/out/linux.x86/release/obj/iPxeBiosBin/iPxeBiosBin.rom
  $ kmk KBUILD_VERBOSE=2 -j1

and post the output? The error you get shouldn't be possible because the .rom 
image is
512-byte-aligned by calling

  src/VBox/Devices/PC/ipxe/src/util/padimg.pl --blksize=512 --byte=0xff 
path_to_/iPxeBiosBin.rom

Ah-ha, the first line of padimg.pl contains /usr/bin/perl - after changing it 
to /usr/bin/env perl that error disappears.

I am still getting many substitution errors, most of which can be cured by 
copy/pasting the failed command onto one line in the terminal, but the last one 
cannot be fixed this way - I wonder if this is something to do with bash, my 
system normally uses busybox.

For the one above I had to remove the offending line from 
src/VBox/Devices/Makefile.kmk

if readelf -S /usr/src/VirtualBox-5.1.20/out/linux.x86/release/obj/tstLdrObjR0/tstLdrObjR0.r0|grep

I have not been able to fix the one above.
