    While installing a new kernel virtualbox fails to build. Unluckily
I'm reporting this bug after the module compiled, so I lost the error
bug, but it was something in thelines of:

/bin/sh: pahole not found

    After installing pahole, the module compiled just fine.

Hello, I checked in latest vbox and the version 7.0.20
virtualbox-7.0.20-dfsg $ grep pahole . -R

There is no mention of this tool, so this bug might be affecting some other vbox dependency, indirectly.

Please double check and try to understand which tool is using it (and open a bug against that tool).
