The vmmon and vmnet vmware-workstation kernel modules fail to build on Rocky Linux 8.5. Anyone have an easy fix?

I have freshly installed Rocky Linux 8.5 then yum upgrade and dnf upgrade. Installed the kernel-headers and kernel-devel with gcc, etc. all following the instructions posted at several locations around the web. Then tried to download and run the .bundle file from vmware.com to install Workstation Pro 16.2.1. During the first attempt to run, the kernel modules vmmon and vmnet are supposed to compile, but fail to do so. From several posts, it appears there was a back-port to fix a problem with a forthcoming kernel - but that fix fails with the current kernel now shipped with Rocky 8.5 I upgraded to kernel 5.16.4 following standard instructions for a kernel upgrade, but the same basic problems continue to manifest themselves. Does anyone have instructions for creating ANY VERSION of vmware workstation on Rocky 8.5? I ask for Rocky 8.5 instructions because Rocky 8.4 is no longer available for download from rockylinux.org I am told this problem is also active on Red Hat Enterprises 8.5, but do not have access to a legal license for testing purposes thereon... I find my situation to be a surprise, because vmware.com is a sponsor of Rocky Linux, and you would think someone in their QA group would have regression tested their code on the most recent general availability of Rocky?... I don't have the necessary reputation to create the tag "rocky-linux"...
