After the removal of version 5.1.10 from the tree, every attempt to upgrade has failed during compile phase, complaining of kernel configuration being invalid. From build log: ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid. include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing. Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it. I checked the kernel source tree and the specified files are present and accounted for. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -u app-emulation/virtualbox 2. 3.

If you use gcc-plugins in the kernel with any change on gcc you need to rebuild the kernel so the gcc-plugins get rebuild
This is the real error you have. cc1: error: incompatible gcc/plugin versions cc1: error: fail to initialize plugin ./scripts/gcc-plugins/constify_plugin.so cc1: error: incompatible gcc/plugin versions cc1: error: incompatible gcc/plugin versions
