For me I got it to work as follow after reading this link: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/10709

My error from /var/log/vboxadd-install.log
make[2]: *** [/tmp/vbox.0/r0drv/linux/memobj-r0drv-linux.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/tmp/vbox.0] Error 2
make: *** [vboxguest] Error 2

I copied the source at this link: https://www.virtualbox.org/attachment/ticket/10709/memobj-r0drv-linux.c and removed line numbers.

Then replaced the existing source:
root@u12:/opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.1.18/src/vboxguest-4.1.18/vboxguest/r0drv/linux# mv ~/memobj-r0drv-linux.c ./memobj-r0drv-linux.c

Then reran vboxadd:
root@u12:/opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.1.18/src/vboxguest-4.1.18/vboxguest/r0drv/linux# /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup
