The use of signals without SA_RESTORER is considered obsolete, but it's somewhat surprising that the vdso isn't there; it should be mapped even for static binaries esp. on i386 since it is the preferred way to do system calls (you don't need to parse the ELF for that.) Are you explicitly disabling the VDSO? If so, Don't Do That.
