The vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1 fails to build with the 2.6.20-rc1-mm1 kernel on x86_64 architecture. It appears the _syscall1 function has been removed from asm/unistd.h in the kernel sources and vmmon-only/include/compat_kernel.h tries to inline the function. I would assume this will be a problem when the 2.6.20 kernel is actually released and appears in the gentoo-sources. I'm forced to use the mm kernel because the vanilla sources lack support for my hardware presently. Error Output: Using 2.6.x kernel build system. make -C /usr/src/linux/include/..
