[Slackbuilds-users] slackware14.2 / virtualbox-kernel 5.0.30 / slackbuild fails

[Daniel Prosser]

I had a similar problem with the 4.9 kernel series. I got around it by
adding this define in arch/x86/include/asm/realmode.h (in the kernel
source):

#define ALIGN(x, a)             __ALIGN_KERNEL((x), (a))

I'm not sure why it's needed, because as far as I could tell, that was
already defined in something #included by realmode.h. There may be a
better solution, but this worked for me.
