Versions of binutils prior to 2.25 are unable to link our VDSO due to an
unsupported R_MIPS_PC32 relocation generated by the ".word _start - ."
line of the inline asm in get_vdso_base(). As such, the intent is that
when building with binutils older than 2.25 we don't build code for
gettimeofday() & friends in the VDSO that rely upon get_vdso_base().
Commit 24640f233b46 ("mips: Add support for generic vDSO") converted us
to using generic VDSO infrastructure, and as part of that the
gettimeofday() functionality moved to a new vgettimeofday.c file. The
check for binutils < 2.25 wasn't updated to handle this new filename,
and so it continues trying to remove the old unused filename from the
build. The end result is that we try to include the gettimeofday() code
in builds that will fail to link.
Fix this by updating the binutils < 2.25 case to remove vgettimeofday.c
from obj-vdso-y, rather than gettimeofday.c.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
