The attached draft patch should resolve this problem and support your 
test effort.

The real issues is handling partial implementations of VDSO (where the 
kernel version implements some but not all vdso functions). The 
implementation below adds _dl_vdso_weakref() to handle this case.

I also included a draft hp-timing for ppc32. There seems to be an 
interaction between existing hp-timing 64-bit support and the new vsdo 
code. We are still working out the details.
