 And let returns to virtualbox-ose-additions. It installs (I skip ass
scripts and text files, of course:

/boot/modules/vboxguest.ko
/boot/modules/vboxvideo.ko
  These two don't need any libraries, for sure.

        libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800ae0000)

  Why does it need runtime gcc dependency AT ALL?!
