Built the patch file from the site and used it instead of doing the updates manually. Confirmed that the resulting patch does allow Workstation 6.0.2 to build (with a number of warnings) on both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the kernel. Note, however, that this patch also appears to at least partially revert Workstation 6.0.2 back to version 6.0.0. This could be due to using vmware-any-any-115 as the source update - I don't think there's a newer version as yet though. Hopefully there will be another set of updates from VMware (like another beta of Server 2.0 and Workstation 6.0.3) which will fix these issues directly.
