vmware-server-modules and kernel 2.6.19 [solved]

I'm trying to rebuild the vmware server modules from AUR for the new kernel. After adjusting the files for the kernel version and doing makepkg I get the following:

==> Validating source files with MD5sums
    VMware-server-1.0.1-29996.tar.gz ... Passed
==> Extracting Sources...
==>     tar --use-compress-program=gzip -xf VMware-server-1.0.1-29996.tar.gz

Using 2.6.x kernel build system.

It seems the userif module breaks.  I haven't a clue how to solve this.  :?
