Description Maciej Piechotka 2013-10-17 14:35:43 UTC 
This causes problems during pre-reboot module rebuild for new kernel. The workaround is:

 1. Build new kernel
 2. Reboot
 3. Then rebuild modules and load them manually

Which is error-prone.

What version does this happen on?  Can you attach the full build log?  I cannot reproduce this on my machines.

Ups. Sorry I meant app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions.

In any case - I had troubles with 4.2.something. I could not reproduce on 4.3.

# emerge virtualbox-guest-additions

I still cannot reproduce this issue, can you reproduce it now?  Are you doing something like setting KBUILD_OUTPUT to build out of the main source dir?
