I'm not able to reproduce with last vbox external modules. I tried with build and autoinstall. Which command do you use to trigger this?

$ sudo dkms autoinstall

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...

Building module:
cleaning build area....
make KERNELRELEASE=4.3.0-rc6-seblu -C /usr/lib/modules/4.3.0-rc6-seblu/build M=/var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/5.0.8/build.........................

Could you also try with the testing version: dkms-2.2.0.3+git151023-1 ?
