Very close to compiling on linux kernel 5.0.0rc4 - help with log

I upgraded Fedora 29 with kernel 4.20 ti Fedora 30 (Rawhide).   VMware WS 15.0.2 still works if I boot to Fedora 29 and WS "almost" compiles ib kernel 5.0.2.   Usually I would compress the log but I'm posting it uncompressed this time since somewhere here can probably figure out how to work around these errors. FWIW Virtualbox works with but kernels.

The patches are a year old and written for WS 14.   Will they work with WS 15 and kernel 5.0.0.rcx?   Have you or anybody tried it on any distro.

You are not able to choose the right branch?
