After looking at the code closer,
I believe your code is more correct.

vdso-note is assembly instead of C.

arch/sparc/vdso/vdso-note.S
arch/sparc/vdso/vdso32/vdso-note.S



The -pg flag is added by the top Makefile,
only for C files.


CFLAGS_REMOVE_vdso-note.o = -pg
was unneeded in the first place.



BTW, I just thought this patch
was supposed to be applied by Dave
since it is touching a single file in arch/sparc/.

If Dave plans to pick up this, please feel free to add:

If I should apply this to kbuild tree, please let me know.
