ok, i should explain more.

i want to cate a linux vdso shared library for linuxemu,
this will run exclusively on plan9, and will contain only one
entrypoint, a few bytes of text and no data or bss.

the file must be linux compatible as the linux dynamic linker
must be able to attach my shared library to the linux application
being started (by linuxemu).

i am just trying to avoid shipping a binary with the linuxemu source,
or requiring the end user has a running linux system to bootstrap
linuxemu - however this amy be unavoidable.
