Description David R. Bergstein 2021-02-17 04:35:05 UTC 
While installing gentoo-sources-5.11.0, out of tree compilation failed for virtualbox-guest-additions, which apparently need to be updated for kernel 5.11.

Yes, so as usual we have to wait for a future upstream release...
Comment 2 Joakim Tjernlund 2021-02-17 14:06:48 UTC 
Does not the kernel now carry its own VBOX modules for virtualbox-guest-additions?
The we could just skip building the modules for virtualbox-guest-additions and
just rely on the kernel ones.
