VBox Guest Additions compile failure for CentOS 7.7 on VirtualBox 6.0.12 -> duplicate of 18917

[mrTom]

After upgrading my virtual machine from CentOS 7.6 to 7.7 only a small screen is visible. Building new Guest Additions show some errors:

[root@jet ~]# cat /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log Building the main Guest Additions 6.0.12 module for kernel 3.10.0-1062.1.1.el7.x86_64. Building the shared folder support module.

This is a duplicate of ticket #18917. Ticket #18917 explains that there are updated VirtualBox builds you can download which contain the fix.
