VirtualBox 5.2.22 no longer requires "gcc 4.x...7.x", but "gcc 4.x or later". So there is no more need to disable the GCC version check. Also, replacing "ECHO_N" from "echo -n" to "printf" is no longer needed - it's "printf by default now.
Have you please tested with latest gcc 8?
Tested with GCC 8.1.0.
The gcc version checks - by past experience - are subject to constant changes in VirtualBox so I won't remove our current gcc version check removal code. Thanks for letting me know that upstream finally replaced "echo -n" with "printf". I gonna remove that sed statement in all ebuild.
