On ppc, that is. #ifndef __ASSUME_VSYSCALL is correct there, just it needs
to be protected with NEED_DL_SYSINFO as well. With your patch i686 with
--enable-kernel for very recent kernels would not compile at all and when
__ASSUME_VSYSCALL was not defined, it would just never use vDSO.

	* sysdeps/generic/dl-sysdep.c (_dl_sysdep_start): Protect new_sysinfo
	decl and use with #ifdef NEED_DL_SYSINFO.
