On arm64 linux gcc uses -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -funwind-tables by default since gcc-8, so now the de facto platform ABI is to allow unwinding from async signal handlers. However on bare metal targets (aarch64-none-elf), and on old gcc, async and sync unwind tables are not enabled by default to avoid runtime memory costs. This means if linux is built with a baremetal toolchain the vdso.so may not have unwind tables which breaks the gcc platform ABI guarantee in userspace. Add -fasynchronous-unwind-tables explicitly to the vgettimeofday.o cflags to address the ABI change.
