It looks pretty obvious what went wrong:

00:00:12.519380 VMMR0.r0 is importing SUPSemEventSignal which we couldn't
find

So I would start looking in /var/log/messages and then grep the vbox code
for that SUPSemEventSignal function and have a look at the build logs just
in case something went unnoticed.
