    It is not enough to tell the compile process to use CC=gcc32 - you have
    to install that gcc version before. Otherwise it certainly can't work!
    So install the gcc32 package for FC1.

    Do you have an compilation environment installed at all?

    You run kernel .2149 but you have the kernel sources of something else
    installed. So install the kernel-source rpm of .2149 before trying to
    build the vmware modules.

    Those messages are for reading! Why didn't you read them? They are very
    clear for what the process is complaining.
