Do you get the same error with distcc being disabled?
(In reply to comment #1) > Do you get the same error with distcc being disabled? > I'm just building it now, and it got past that stage with no problems. I didn't think to try this as the other virtualbox packages (modules and additions) didn't have any problems. Maybe it has something to to do with the "MAKE='kmk'" variable. Can you please re-categorise this as necessary?
