I emerged vmware-modules with no problem but still have a hard time with vmare-server:

* ERROR: app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r2 failed.
* Call stack:
*               ebuild.sh, line   49: Called src_compile
*             environment, line 3723: Called linux-mod_src_compile
*             environment, line 2841: Called die
* The specific snippet of code:
*               eval "emake HOSTCC=\"$(tc-getBUILD_CC)\"                         CROSS_COMPILE=${CHOST}-                 LDFLAGS=\"$(get_abi_LDFLAGS)\"                         ${BUILD_FIXES}                         ${BUILD_PARAMS}         ${BUILD_TARGETS} " || die "Unable to emake HOSTCC="$(tc-getBUILD_CC)" CROSS_COMPILE=${CHOST}- LDFLAGS="$(get_abi_LDFLAGS)" ${BUILD_FIXES} ${BUILD_PARAMS} ${BUILD_TARGETS}";
* The die message:
