I'm not exactly sure what to say, the build log lists almost 550 lines of errors in various source code files. I'm aware that one error in a C source file can cause gcc to print a massive wall of errors... not sure if it's the same case here. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. $emerge -q =app-emulation/virtualbox-4.0.15

From your emerge --info it seems you're using Funtoo. Have you reported the bug in their bug tracker? Looking at the build log, it seems your system has an issue with the java environment. After looking at http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/app-emulation/virtualbox/ I see this version of virtualbox is not in the tree.
I was informed of the "java-config" command when I uninstalled sun-jre-bin, using this I set icedtea to be the default java vm. I tried compiling virtualbox again for giggles and it worked.

Updated bug summary to the correct package version. (In reply to comment #5) > I was informed of the "java-config" command when I uninstalled sun-jre-bin, JRE stands for Java Runtime Environment. You need a JDK (Java Development KIT) for building java packages.
I can't replicate; gentoo64 virtualbox # USE=python emerge =app-emulation/virtualbox-4.1.4 >>> Emerging (1 of 1) app-emulation/virtualbox-4.1.4 >>> Jobs: 0 of 1 complete, 1 running Load avg: unknownopenpty failed: 'out of pty devices' >>> Installing (1 of 1) app-emulation/virtualbox-4.1.4 Missing a system header occasionally occurs with a version of kernel headers and gets fixed up picked up down the track. I doubt this is a bug.
Having a proper JDK installation should be enough to not getting caught by this problem.
