Bump.
Please help.
Is this the right place or do I have to post at the Ubuntu Forums ? Thanks.

The Ubuntu forum wouldn't help much, I'm afraid. Puppy can install Ubuntu package but is a different sort of beast and has its own strangeness which Ubuntu users aren't familiar with. Maybe the virtualbox forum would be a better place to ask questions...
For what's worth here is how I manage to compile 4.18 Guest Addition on 528 (posts #6 and #7).

The bad news is that with all the recent puppies the mouse stays horribly broken no matter how well the compile step ends. Hopefully someone will figure out how to fix it...
