This is caused by missing gSOAP configuration in configure.vbs - the 
code is pretty new in OSE, so no one thought about adding it to that 
config script. A quick workaround is disabling the webservice code 
completely, by putting

VBOX_WITH_WEBSERVICES=

in the file LocalConfig.kmk in the toplevel directory. The file doesn't 
exist initially.

This is still the case with VirtualBox 2.2.2 which has been released 
since you started...
