I think it's just a bug that rv32 doesn't have the vdso version of the
time syscalls. Fixing that is of course independent of the compat support,
but I think you need that anyway, and it would be better to start
out by building the compat vdso with the correct
architecture level.

At least this should be a lot easier than on arch/arm64 because you
can assume that an rv64 compiler is able to also build rv32 output.
