I am not sure what you expect...

But i have not the GLIBC knowledge nor the test equipment to unify and
refactoring the whole VDSO functionality in GLIBC. Since this kind of
rework impact a lot of different architectures it would need a lot of
tests.

All i can offer is to do a #include "../<x86_64 file>.c" instead of
duplicating the code.
