(In reply to Jiří Moravec from comment #1) > I just hit the same problem with 6.0.4 version. May I ask your USE flags for the package?

I guess it's USE=java or USE=sdk (or both). Time for some experimenting, as soon as I have some time for it.
$ USE="-java -python -sdk" ebuild virtualbox-6.0.4.ebuild compile has succeeded...
Yep. Disabling java made the trick. USE="alsa java opengl opus pam python qt5 sdk udev vnc -java -debug -doc -headless -libressl -lvm -pax_kernel -pulseaudio -vboxwebsrv" ebuild virtualbox-6.0.4.ebuild clean compile install was complete success...
The java USE flag seems to be a red herring. I see the build failures with -java USE="alsa opengl opus pam pulseaudio python qt5 sdk udev vnc -debug -doc -headless -java -libressl -lvm -pax_kernel -vboxwebsrv" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7"

The error message in the bug report is clear enough. The build fails while building the SDK, as evidenced by: > /tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-6.0.0/work/VirtualBox-6.0.0/out/linux.amd64/release/bin/sdk/bindings/xpcom/include/xpcom/nscore.h:51:10: fatal error: prtypes.h: No such file or directory It stands to reason that the Makefiles for the SDK portion are broken. However, it could be that the same issues are present in other parts of the VirtualBox build infrastructure and a parallel make may fail elsewhere.

For me USE="alsa opengl opus pam -pulseaudio python qt5 sdk udev vnc -debug -doc -headless -java -libressl -lvm -pax_kernel -vboxwebsrv" ebuild virtualbox-6.0.4.ebuild clean compile is fine for me with 100% success. Which has small difference from yours. I haven't pulseaudio on my system. Maybe you should try compile virtualbox with USE="-pulseaudio sdk". Just for curiosity...
I just emerged media-sound/pulseaudio-12.2 with media-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.1.8. After this "USE="alsa opengl opus pam pulseaudio python qt5 sdk udev vnc -debug -doc -headless -java -libressl -lvm -pax_kernel -vboxwebsrv" ebuild virtualbox-6.0.4.ebuild clean compile" succeeded without hiccup. And now even full 'FEATURES="-ccache" USE="alsa opengl opus pam pulseaudio python qt5 sdk udev vnc -debug -doc -headless java -libressl -lvm -pax_kernel -vboxwebsrv" ebuild virtualbox-6.0.4.ebuild clean compile' succeeded. That's crazy!!
You are just wasting CPU cycles. This is a typical race condition. It may show up every time, never, 90% of the time or once in a blue moon. Just fiddling with the use flags is not much help either. The virtualbox build system is broken due to a race condition. In the original bug report, the problem is that some targets in the SDK tree do not specify all their dependencies. As a result, during a parallel build, those targets are being built before their dependencies exist. Just changing USE flags is not a fix or even a workaround. The workaround is MAKEOPTS=-j1, which sucks in terms of performance. The fix is to correctly specify all the dependencies.

And its energy consumption is actually negligible comparing with CPU load from other tasks. :-)

And it still occurs with 6.0.14.
The problem doesn't occur with version 6.1.0, or it was just by chance.
No longer occurs on 6.1.4-r1.
It's a race condition, so it may not show for some people some of the time. I've encountered a problem on first build of 6.1.4-r1, however a second build completed without failure.
Yup, race condition. /etc/make.conf MAKEOPTS="-j1" ... and sit back and wait an hour or so for compiling to complete.
I compile with -j12 and never had this issue. I know this is not a guarantee, so please reopen if you find this again, and attach a full build log.
For some reason, reported this in the wrong duplicated bug: Failing with 7.1.4, but succeeds with MAKEOPTS=-j1 This happened in a system that's never had VirtualBox; it did build successfully with parallel make on another system. Hope this helps!
Created attachment 920104 [details] build.log of failing vbox build with parallel make
I don't understand, it was confirmed just one day before being marked as 'obsolate'. With a very useful piece of information: will probably build fine in parallel _if_ it's already installed.
I'm not sure if you've misread. It was reopened? (As for UNCO vs CONF, we don't really bother with that in Gentoo).
