Isn't this kinda a hack?

First, it means that we'll now have two duplicate versions of this:

	#define GDT_ENTRY_CPUNODE		15

in the same file.

Second, if any other users of fake_32bit_build.h for the VDSO show up,
they'll need a similar #ifdef.

I think I'd much rather if we define all of the GDT_ENTRY_* macros in
*one* place, then make that *one* place depend on BUILD_VDSO32_64.

Also, about the *silent* failure...  Do we not have a selftest for this
somewhere?
