On a cross-toolchain without glibc support, libgcov may not be available, and attempting to build an arm64 kernel with GCOV enabled then results in a build error: /home/arnd/cross-gcc/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux/5.2.1/../../../../aarch64-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcov We don't really want to link libgcov into the vdso anyway, so this patch just disables GCOV in the vdso directory, just as we do for most other architectures.
