I'm a novice when it comes to vDSO, so someone please correct me if I'm 
wrong.

From what I read vDSO is a library in the sense that it exports ELF 
symbols that applications and other libraries (libc in particular) can 
use, but it is not a file on disk.

As such, which rootfs you use shouldn't matter, since the vDSO is not in 
the rootfs. Instead, it is contained in the kernel image. Searching for 
"linux-vdso.so.1" on packages.debian.org indeed returns no hits.

There is a check in arch/mips/vdso/Makefile that disables vDSO on MIPS 
when building the kernel with binutils < 2.25. I don't know if that is 
in any way related to this issue.

Bye,
		Maarten
