VirtualBox-5.1.22-gcc_version_check_remove.patch

app-emulation/virtualbox, app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions and x11-drivers/xf86-video-virtualbox are using VirtualBox-x.x.xx-tar.bz2, with configure script that suppory only gcc 4.x, 5.x or 6.x (confirmed with VirtualBox-5.1.22). After remove gcc version check, this programs are working with gcc-7.1.

This command:
sed -e "/\s*-o\s*\\\(\s*\$cc_maj\s*-eq\s*[5-9]\s*-a\s*\$cc_min\s*-gt\s*[0-5]\s*\\\)\s*\\\/d" -i configure || die
that is in src_prepare seems not working.
