Hi,

`readelf -Wl file-dumped-from-/proc/self/maps-[vdso]' for x86_64 process prints:
Program Headers:
  Type           Offset   VirtAddr           PhysAddr           FileSiz  MemSiz   Flg Align
  LOAD           0x000000 0xffffffffff700000 0xffffffffff700000 0x000890 0x000890 R E 0x1000

  GNU_EH_FRAME   0x00030c 0xffffffffff70030c 0xffffffffff70030c 0x000034 0x000034 R   0x4

while such dump for i386 process prints:
Program Headers:
  Type           Offset   VirtAddr   PhysAddr   FileSiz MemSiz  Flg Align
  LOAD           0x000000 0xffffe000 0x00000000 0x00434 0x00434 R E 0x1000
  DYNAMIC        0x000350 0xffffe350 0x00000350 0x00078 0x00078 R   0x4
  NOTE           0x0001c4 0xffffe1c4 0x000001c4 0x00060 0x00060 R   0x4
  GNU_EH_FRAME   0x000224 0xffffe224 0x00000224 0x00024 0x00024 R   0x4

The mapped location can be arbirary (according to the rules of PIC - Position
Independent Code) but currently the i386 vdso (vdso32) looks as an overlayed
code as it has LMA != VMA (rule contained in GDB function section_is_overlay,
as suggested by Daniel Jacobowitz).

Fixed vdso32 prints:
Program Headers:
  Type           Offset   VirtAddr   PhysAddr   FileSiz MemSiz  Flg Align
  LOAD           0x000000 0xffffe000 0xffffe000 0x00434 0x00434 R E 0x1000
  DYNAMIC        0x000350 0xffffe350 0xffffe350 0x00078 0x00078 R   0x4
  NOTE           0x0001c4 0xffffe1c4 0xffffe1c4 0x00060 0x00060 R   0x4
  GNU_EH_FRAME   0x000224 0xffffe224 0xffffe224 0x00024 0x00024 R   0x4

It required now a workaround in GDB patch so at least to fix it in Linux kernel:
