Installing Guest Additions 5.2.4 on CentOS 7 fails

[gbartlett]

Host: Windows 7, 64-bit, VirtualBox 5.2.4 Guest: CentOS 7 with all upgrades, initially set up for VirtualBox 5.1.22

Bug: When I upgraded VirtualBox and ran the Guest Additions installer in my CentOS guest to upgrade Guest Additions, the video driver build failed. It seems to have failed on an unimportant driver, because it actually works correctly. Still, it's worth reporting the build failure. The attached is an excerpt from the log file.
