config.h was depricated a while back. There used to be a symlink from
autoconf.h to config.h in include/linux. (I have not used the empty file
as described above. I link it to what it is supposed to be. I don't know
if it makes a difference.) A few programs that build kernel modules still
have problem with the missing config.h. NVIDIA fixed this a while ago.
VMWare has not. (VMWare tools also has compile problems which have never
been fixed. There are some third-party hacks to fix some of those
issues.)
