Failure of Vmware Server 2 installation on SLES 11 SP2

Issue:
I am trying to install Vmware Server 2(VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.x86_64) installation on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) SP2 and it fails with error:
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.3.4", while you are trying to use "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3". This configuration is not recommended and VMware Server may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3" anyway? [no]

Analysis:
When I check the gcc details I see the following
rpm -qa kernel* gcc*
gcc-c++-4.3-62.198
kernel-default-3.0.13-0.27.1
gcc43-4.3.4_20091019-0.22.17

I tried uninstalling all gcc then again installed it with zypper in gcc but still the issue persists.
Zypper by default installs gcc 4.3.

How to resolve this and get the vmware server installed?

genassym.cf

GENASSYM.CF(5)						      BSD File Formats Manual						    GENASSYM.CF(5)

NAME

     genassym.cf -- assym.h definition file

DESCRIPTION

     The genassym.cf file is used by genassym(1) to make constant C expressions known to assembler source files.  Lines starting with '#' are dis-
     carded by genassym(1).  Lines starting with include, ifdef, if, else or endif are preceded with '#' and passed otherwise unmodified to the C
     compiler.	Lines starting with quote get passed on with the quote command removed.  The first word after a define command is taken as a CPP
     identifier and the rest of the line has to be a constant C expression. The output of genassym(1) will assign the numerical value of this
     expression to the CPP identifier.	export X is a shorthand for define X X.  struct X remembers X for the member command and does a define
     X_SIZEOF sizeof(X).  member X does a define X offsetof(<last struct>, X).	config <ctype> <gcc constraint> <asm print modifier> can be used
     to customize the output of genassym(1).  When producing C output, values are casted to <ctype> (default: long) before they get handed to
     printf. <gcc constraint> (default: n) is the constraint used in the __asm__ statements. <asm print modifier> (default: empty) can be used to
     force gcc to output operands in different ways then normal. The "a" modifier e.g. stops gcc from emitting immediate prefixes in front of con-
     stants for the i386 and m68k port.
