Some dynamic loaders may be slightly faster if a GNU hash is available. Strangely, this seems to have no effect at all on the vdso size. This is unlikely to have any measurable effect on the time it takes to resolve vdso symbols (since there are so few of them). In some contexts, it can be a win for a different reason: if every DSO has a GNU hash section, then libc can avoid calculating SysV hashes at all. Both musl and glibc appear to have this optimization. It's plausible that this breaks some ancient glibc version. If so, then, depending on what glibc versions break, we could either require COMPAT_VDSO for them or consider reverting.
