Requires dropping the .got section. I couldn't find how it was used in
the vdso32.

ld crashes:

Not sure removing .got is a good idea or not. Otherwise I observe the
following link error:
powerpc-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `.got' from `arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso32/sigtramp.o' being placed in section `.got'
powerpc-linux-gnu-ld: _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ not defined in linker created .got
powerpc-linux-gnu-ld: final link failed: bad value

sigtramp.c doesn't mention anything from the GOT AFAICT, and doesn't
look like it contains relocations that do, so I'm not sure where
references to _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ are coming from.
