Ah, I was not paying attention; I figured that this was necessary
because the x86 VDSO broke without it:
cd01544a268ad ("x86/vdso: Pass --eh-frame-hdr to the linker")
However, they explicitly add -fasynchronous-unwind-tables so it seems
like this indeed can be removed. Kind of odd that GCC passes it along
even with -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables. I will do that in v5 once I
get some feedback on whether or not anything else breaks.
Cheers,
Nathan
