Description Roy Bamford gentoo-dev 2016-10-27 15:59:10 UTC 
virtualbox-modules-5.1.8.ebuild contains the code snippet
        CONFIG_CHECK="!TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS"
        ERROR_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS="This option removed kernel symbols that are needed by ${PN} to load correctly."

But the resulting error does not tell the missing kernel symbol, so users need to read the ebuild to find out.

Portage output is
 * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options...
 *   This option removed kernel symbols that are needed by virtualbox-modules to load correctly.
 * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly.

Please fix the error message.
