Thanks Zenja!
 
http://open-vm-tools.sourceforge.net/
 
From the README file in source, under known issues:
 
(*)Building with GCC versions before 3.0 will fail. GCC will complain that 
"-fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-unused-value are invalid options", and fails to 
build "vm_atomic.h" saying that "a forbidden register was spilled", or 
"-Wno-unused-value does not exist".
 
If that dual GCC2/GCC4 binary support project is in the works for Haiku, 
open-vm-tools might be a good test candidate.
 
Regards,
Brian
