Guest additions in VirtualBox 5.1.8r111374 can't find file "version.h" for debian 9 (stretch).
"grep: /lib/modules/4.9.0-4-686/build/include/linux/version.h: No such file or directory"

That's a way too old build. Try the latest 5.2.0 or 5.1.30.

IIRC you also would find it missing if the headers were not installed or if the kernel was an rc.

Updating VirtualBox to 5.2.0 solved the problem. Thanks.
