Unless someone actually complains, I think so.  Ideally, I think we'd
have a symlink from the build id, but that's a separate issue.

AFAIK, the only thing that actually references these files is Fedora's
gdb, which is finding them from Fedora's build-id symlinks, which
should work fine regardless of what the thing is called.

How's this for a patch description:

make vdso_install has been broken since this commit:

commit 6f121e548f83674ab4920a4e60afb58d4f61b829

    x86, vdso: Reimplement vdso.so preparation in build-time C

because the names of the files to be installed changed.   This fixes
vdso_install to install the right files.
