Indeed. However Just removing the gtk libs from that directory doesn't
bring me any further, either I get:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'
  what():  basic_string::_S_create
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'
  what():  basic_string::_S_create

Or:

/usr/local/vmware/lib/bin/vmware:
/usr/local/vmware/lib/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version
`GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)
/usr/local/vmware/lib/bin/vmware:
/usr/local/vmware/lib/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version
`GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)
/usr/local/vmware/lib/bin/vmware:
/usr/local/vmware/lib/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version
`GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)

Depending on how many of the non-gtk/glib libs I move back. From here
this looks as if the changes that were done to linking gtk/glib (I'm
guessing this was to reduce the excess linkage?) broke binary
compatibility of the libraries.

No errors, just the list of libs:
