It looks like this is where the message is coming from. For example,
spca5xx executes "make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
SUBDIRS=/root/spca5xx-20060501 CC=cc modules" to build the module. The
error is coming from the /usr/src/kernels/2.6.17-1.2328.fc6-x86_64/Makefile.
Where do I go from here to fix this? I am not a Makefile wizard :-(.

I 'fixed' this by doing the following:
cd /usr/src/kernels/2.6.17-1.2328.fc6-i686
make prepare
Worked for me after that (i.e., I could build the vmware modules).
