Well this is unfortunate :/

It looks like adding the --target flag to VDSO_LDFLAGS allows
clang to link the vDSO just fine although it does warn that -nostdinc
is unused:

clang-11: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-nostdinc'
[-Wunused-command-line-argument]

It would be nice if the logic of commit fe00e50b2db8 ("ARM: 8858/1:
vdso: use $(LD) instead of $(CC) to link VDSO") could be adopted here
but I get that this Makefile is its own beast :) at the very least, I
think that the --target flag should be added to VDSO_LDFLAGS so that gcc
is not a requirement for this but I am curious if you tried that already
and noticed any issues with it.

Cheers,
Nathan

This is why ended up in this "unfortunate" situation :) I wanted to avoid the
warning.

--target is my preferred way as well, I can try to play another little bit with
the flags and see what I can come up with in the next version.

Yes, please. I'd even prefer the warning rather than silently assuming that
a cross gcc is kicking around on the path.

Doesn't Clang have -Qunused-arguments for that?
