Yes, that should be possible to do here as well. Nick attempted it some
time ago but there was some complications with older tools, so we
decided to use ld.lld via the compiler in commit 4406b12214f6
("powerpc/vdso: Link with ld.lld when requested").

Right, this is certainly possible. Hopefully it will not happen
frequently enough to be problematic.

This is definitely not a bad idea.
