Did I miss something ? I can't find where NEED_DL_SYSINFO_DSO is defined
for powerpc ... This is necessary afaik, for the vDSO symbols to be
"found" by glibc.

In fact, this should have been done a long time ago (all my applogies if
it's there and I just missed it) since that's the only way that I know
for gcc stackframe unwinder to work properly with any recent kernel that
puts the signal trampolines in the vDSO... it needs to get to the DWARF
infos and I've been explained that the way it got there was via glibc
getting the vDSO symbols in.

Ben.
