Thinking about this a bit, I realized that I guess the glibc change allows
having a separate debug info file on the file system for the vdso, and having
that just work (a "simpler" alternative to buildid matching).  So from that perspective,
the change seems to have been justified.  (but I don't know whether that was
the rationale).
