Getting VBox Guest Addtions for Android x86

I am running Android x86 on VirtualBox, and I want the pointer integration enabled, which needs VirtualBox Guest Additions to be installed on the guest OS.

I have searched a lot, but what I have found is that one has to compile Guest Additions with Android-x86 kernel headers. Can anyone please share how to do this?

Android is not a supported guest OS according to Sasquatch, a moderator at the VirtualBox forums, at https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=42240

Android is not a supported Guest OS, so there are no GA. Also, it doesn't meet the requirements for guest addition support: you can't install support packages for the kernel to make kernel modules. At least not that I am aware of.
