You are right! The system is missing 
/usr/include/security/openpam_attr.h - I don't know the reason.

I successfully build VirtualBox on another machine. But there were some 
other problems:

On one run, installation ends with:

===>  Checking if emulators/virtualbox-ose already installed
===> Creating users and/or groups.
Creating group 'vboxusers' with gid `920'.
Creating user `vboxusers' with uid `920'.
pw: user 'vboxusers' disappeared during update
*** Error code 67

On the next run:

===>  Checking if emulators/virtualbox-ose already installed
===> Creating users and/or groups.
Using existing group `vboxusers'.
Creating user `vboxusers' with uid `920'.
pw: user 'vboxusers' already exists
*** Error code 74

After few next runs (and manual deletion of the vboxusers) it was built 
and now I am running VirtualBox headless.

So thank you very much for you time and work on VirtualBox!
