I'm seeing the same problem on FC6 and haven't been able to find a fix yet on google.
With VMwareWorkstation-5.5.3-34685 and running the 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 I cannot rebuild the modules after applying the manual fixes (above) and trying a fresh install of vmware and applying the any-any patch.
I had the same problem on FC6. Check out http://fcp.surfsite.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=35020&forum=10&post_id=156401
and then run the script in http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-any-any-update108.tar.gz and download and install the new version of VMWare server, 1.0.2. That worked for me.
