If I try to build a fresh kernel on my machine with the standard "make mrproper
&& make defconfig && make" I do not see the reported issue (Please see below
scissors).

At this point would be interesting to know more about how Matteo is building the
kernel, and try to reproduce the issue here.

@Matteo, could you please provide the full .config and the steps you used to
generate it? Is it an 'oldconfig'?

Message of detection of empty compat compiler:
----------------------------------------------

arch/arm64/Makefile:56: CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT not defined or empty, the compat
vDSO will not be built


Generated .config:
------------------

$ cat .config | grep COMPAT
CONFIG_COMPAT=y
...
CONFIG_GENERIC_COMPAT_VDSO=y
CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT_VDSO=""
