I run Debian testing on most of my systems. I recently upgraded my laptop to the latest patches including Linux Kernel 5.8.0.1. This broke VMware player 15.5.6 (run workstation pro on my main machine). I've been waiting for VMWare 16 since. Now that it's out it won't compile the kernel modules citing it can't find a compatible gcc, but gives a null on which one it is looking for. I know player/workstation is only designed to work with Debian 10, but I'm more than happy to find a workaround assuming I can figure out what it needs.
