Currently, when linking with ld.lld, this warning pops up:
arch/mips/vdso/Makefile:70: MIPS VDSO requires binutils >= 2.25
ld-ifversion calls ld-version, which calls scripts/ld-version.sh, which
is specific to GNU ld. ld.lld has a completely different versioning
scheme (as it follows LLVM's versioning) and it does not have the issue
mentioned in the comment above this block so it should not be subjected
to this check.
With this patch, the VDSO successfully links and shows P_MIPS_PC32 in
vgettimeofday.o.
$ llvm-objdump -Dr arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.o | grep R_MIPS_PC32
