Can not build guest additions on CentOS 8 Kernel 4.18.0-513 => fixed in svn

[Peter_3]

1. Get VirtualBox 7.0.10 r158379 with CentOS 8 guest machine and latest kernel

$ uname -a
Linux centos-vm 4.18.0-513.el8.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Aug 25 14:33:28 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

2. Insert the ISO for guest additions (tried both 7.0.11 and 7.0.10)
3. Follow standard installation procedure
4. Installation fails with the following message:

Hi Peter_3,

Fix for this issue is now available on Test Builds page. If you would like to give it a try, you'll need to download Additions iso and reinstall Guest Additions.

Thank you for pointing out.
