I don't think so. That was me trying different GCC version just in case. Still same build error after switching back to 11, though this warning is still printed for some reason: warning: the compiler differs from the one used to build the kernel The kernel was built by: gcc (Gentoo 11.2.1_p20220115 p4) 11.2.1 20220115 You are using: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc (Gentoo 11.2.1_p20220115 p4) 11.2.1 20220115 looks like the same version to me.

This is a known issue with some latest kernels, especially 5.16 according to the upstream's change log <https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog>. I could remember seeing someone using Linux 5.15 reporting it somewhere else online too. While your kernel is 5.14.9-gentoo-x86_64, sys-kernel/linux-headers is on 5.15, which might have something to do with this issue. The upstream has added support for newer kernels in version 6.1.30: VirtualBox 6.1.30 (released November 22 2021) * Linux host and guest: Introduced initial support for kernel 5.16 Could you try installing 6.1.30 and see if this issue still persists?
> Could you try installing 6.1.30 and see if this issue still persists? 6.1.32 emerges fine
Had the problem here with both kernel 5.17.1 and 5.16.17. sys-kernel/linux-headers is 5.15-r3 I'm on amd64 (stable). Accepting ~amd64 for app-emulation/virtualbox-modules brought up 6.1.32, which installed fine.
