Same compilation problem for a Fedora 26 guest on a macOS High Sierra host.
Re: problem installing 5.2.0RC1 guest additions
Also, the RC1 guest addition package calls itself BETA3, not RC1.
But, unlike BETA3, this one does not install properly.

Re: problem installing 5.2.0RC1 guest additions
Same error with latest CentOS 7. Installed the latest 5.1 additions as a workaround.
The Beta 3 reference looks like a packaging error. If you download the separate RC1 iso it goes away.

I'll confirm the build failure with both versions. Host: OSX Sierra Guest: Artix Linux (systemd-less fork of Arch)
UPDATE: Unsurprisingly, the BETA2 additions compile and work.
