This topic may point you in the right direction.

It's for PopOS, but has enough similarities to your issue that it may be of use.

It specifically mentions a "fix" to get through vmmom & vmnet compile issues by commenting out specific lines in "./vmmon-only/include/vm_asm_x86.h", which just so happens to be the same area/lines of code where the FIRST compile error happens in your error log (the rest may just be subsequent errors because of the first error). :
