maybe related, why does the ebuild not use http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-any-any-update96.tar.gz
Because vmware-any-any-update96 does not have a fix for a remotely exploitable security vulnerability in VMware. Also, update-update96 wasn't designed to work on the newer VMware versions. Once update-update97 comes out, I'll update all of the ebuilds accordingly.
same problem with gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r7, btw 2.6.15-r4 works very well

I can confirm the report in comment #7 Same results using gcc-4.1.0 & glibc-2.3.6-r3 on several kernels: gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r4 gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r5 gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r7 linux-2.6.16 (stock kernel.org) I did some hacking to hard-code "VMW_HAVE_EPOLL" and the build progressed further, though I just hit further more serious build errors related to kernel changes. Can anyone confirm the most recent working combination of gcc and kernel version? Is it gcc-3.4.4/gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r7?
Can you try vmware-workstation-5.5.1.19175-r1 and verify if that works?
I had exactly the same problem. Upgrading to vmware-workstation-5.5.1.19175-r1 helped. $ emerge --info | head -n 2 Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 Portage 2.1_pre6-r5 (default-linux/amd64/2006.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.4-r0, 2.6.16-ck1 x86_64)
I'm marking this one as FIXED, then. Feel free to REOPEN if you're still havinv issues with the newer revision.
