Ladies and Gentlemen: VirtualBox is failing to install on a clean installation of Gentoo Hardened. I do not know if this is a VBox, or Gentoo, or a USE Flag, issue. Here is what I am seeing on my end: emerge --info '=app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-4.2.24::gentoo' Portage 2.2.8-r1 (hardened/linux/amd64, gcc-4.7.3, glibc-2.17, 3.13.10-hardened x86_64)

It may be important to note that I have experienced ZERO other emake installation failures, invloving MANY other packages, either prior to, or subseqent to, my failed attempt to install VirtualBox. ...and ^that is: why I am at a loss of understanding...
Rebuild the kernel. When you update the compiler you need to rebuild the kernel. When you build kernel moduls it need to have the same gcc version that the kernel was build with else the hardened kernels gcc-plugins can't be uset. The plugins will tell that you use wrong version of the gcc.
Magnus, 1. Thank you for your quick follow-up. 2. You were correct. Rebuilding the kernel, rebooting, and then reinstalling the 5 remaining VBox packages worked seamlessly. 3. I will remember this 'generic' solution as extremely important, as I have run into other, seemingly random, emake failures on previous Gentoo Hardened installations. Best regards, EncryptedPhreak
