>Description:

Building the new emulators/vmware-module3 version 3.2.1.1 does not work when
the kernel sources are 1.6-branch vintage.

$ cd /usr/pkgsrc/emulators/vmware-module3
$ make

>Fix:

Actually try to compile what goes into pkgsrc?

(Yah, I'm a little frustrated, since it took weeks to get vmware3 rolled back
to a working version because the kernel module wasn't updated -- and now that
the kernel module is updated so vmware3 can progress to 3.2.1, it doesn't
compile, so we're right back where we started with a nonworking vmware3 pkg.)
