That is the problem. I've changed the headers virtualbox need from 

#ifdef CONFIG_X86_32 to #ifdef __i386__ and all compiled fine. 

( subarch headers includes are changed manually still but I think it is the same problem )

Also all the headers got these defines with CONFIG_X86_32 does not work.

...

#ifdef CONFIG_X86_32
# include "foo_32.h"
#else
# include "foo_64.h"
#endif

...

results in including both header files on my i686 box.

I don't know what the right way is to fix that , define some who CONFIG_X86_32 to __i386__ ? or just s/CONFIG_X86_32/__i386__/ ?
