Upgrade to 18.04 LTS from 16.04 LTS broke VMware Workstation 12.5.9
After upgrading Ubuntu from 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS, VMware Workstation 12.5.9 will not start. I uninstalled VMware then reinstalled it. Still get this message:
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-modconfig: Relink /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbsd.so.0 with /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 for IFUNC symbol clock_gettime
18.04 upgrade vmware-workstation

Please open a terminal end execute the command
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
TL;DR
When the kernel is updated, VMWare must be relinked against changed modules. The program listed above accomplishes this function, and older version of VMWare can be reconfigured with sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl.

The "failed to get gcc information" is concerning - tdo ou have build-essential intsalled? I would be tempted tosudo apt install --reinstall build-essential

I reinstalled build-essential and tried again. Get the same "Failed to get gcc information" message. I've since upgraded to vmware workstation 15.0.3. This has fixed the problem.
