It does seem a bit pointless to be building a 32-bit vdso on powerpc64le
where you know there is no 32-bit user runtime.

Now if some other part of the kernel needs to be compiled 32-bit, then it would appear that gcc will need to be configured with
--enable-targets=powerpcle-linux --disable-multilib.

  yeah, thanks for non-verbose build logs !!!

  doing it the hard way, you see that this file was (and wants to be)
  compiled with -m32, and I assume with gcc finally dropping the
  multilib configurations for ppc64el, the kernel configury decides that
  it can do without -m32.

  but why in the first place is this needed? there is no powerpcle user
  space.

  I assume this issue is latent in all releases.
