I think you are right! It has been upgraded by a newer kernel version sources. I cannot compile for an old kernel, unless I find the specific package source again. You may close the ticket.

Thanks for the information.

To me this looks more like a problem with your 3.8.13 tree rather than a problem with the VBox modules. The command
fails but it shouldn't. Is there a Makefile in the directory /lib/modules/3.8.13-gentoo/build?
