Using the latest vmware-any-any.tar.gz patch on VMware Workstation 5.5, the compiler flags a few warnings, but it compiles and runs just fine. I also just loaded VMware Server GA version on FC5 with the same kernel update (2.6.17-1.2157). It compiles flawlessly out of the box with no warnings at all (no patches required).
