[PATCH 5/5] x86,vdso: Create .build-id links for unstripped vdso files

[Andy Lutomirski]

With this change, doing 'make vdso_install' and telling gdb:

set debug-file-directory /lib/modules/KVER/vdso

will enable vdso debugging with symbols.  This is useful for
testing, but kernel RPM builds will probably want to manually delete
these symlinks or otherwise do something sensible when they strip
the vdso/*.so files.

This may break make vdso_install with binutils before 2.17.50.0.17.
On the other hand, make vdso_install was probably never useful with
earlier binutils, since the installed files are AFAIK completely
useless without build-id.
