Workstation 12.5.9 "gcc version 8.3.0 was not found" but it *is* installed.

Starting up VMware throws up this "VMware Kernel Module Updater" dialog stating that gcc version 8.3.0 cannot be found:

However, it is definitely installed, and in the default location:

$ gcc --version

gcc (Debian 8.3.0-6) 8.3.0

$ which gcc

/usr/bin/gcc

$ ls -al /usr/bin/gcc

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Feb 25  2019 /usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-8

$ uname -a

Linux feng 4.19.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.67-2+deb10u1 (2019-09-20) x86_64 GNU/Linux

My host OS is Debian 10 (buster).

How do I get this fixed so I can use my VMs again?

Thanks.
