This has now been fixed in the vmware overlay, which you can access using layman. Please give it a try and let me know if you have any problems with it. After a bit of testing I'll push it into the main tree. Thanks... 5:)

Barbu, Your compilation issues is not related the as-needed flag, the error message you're getting is not indicative of of that problem. My guess is that you're running into problems because you're trying to compile this against the 2.6.25-rc1 kernel. Whilst you could file a new bug on this (and one will almost certainly get filed eventually, so feel free to do so), we do not support release candidate versions of the kernel, and you'll be told this in the bug. If you have a patch to fix the problem, we'll be happy to review and integrate it, but otherwise please be patient...
Ok, this has been in the tree for a while, so I'm going to mark this as FIXED. Please feel free to reopen if you're still having problems. 5:)
