2.4.7 appears to break vmware (latest build: 1142.)  Looks like some
#defines moved. The vmmon build produces the following noise:

Doubtless were looking at the result of an inappropriate dependency on
the part of vmware.  I'm not expecting any sort of help or fix.  This
is just an FYI for those that need to emulate windows.
