I did some effort in the last days and the current status is

GCC10 builds always crash in C++ exception handling on 'throw S_OK' 

(Cheers to the C++ programmers, it - then - else is boring ;))
   

Well aware of the problem with the libstdc++ and libgcc_s mixup I tried to build with GCC12.
   
Builds with GCC12 I have the two issues:
- on one testenv I get the problem described in: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/18134
- the hosts system crashes in vboxdrv on startup a guest

This is similar described here:

Set disable_smap=1 makes no difference.

Any hints?

If someone like to test the Virtualbox package 6.1.46 and the GCC12 runtilme is available here:
