This issue has been fixed in the current test build of VirtualBox:

https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14866
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds

I installed VirtualBox-5.0.x86_64 0:5.0.21_107302_el6-1 and can
confirm it builds the modules just fine under kernel 2.6.32-642.el6.
Users who would rather not install a test version may want to wait for
the next update.
