The result is very similar, it's just a question of which file includes which
other file. If I understand your current method right, you use Makefile
logic to build multiple object files from a single source file, and setting
ENABLE_COMPAT_VDSO on one of them, right?

My preference would be to keep that Makefile simpler and have one
source file per object file, but have each one define a set of macros
before including the common source file, similarly to how we deal
with fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c. If that turns out to be worse than what
you have here, I'm not overly attached to that solution since including
C files is still ugly, but I think it's worth trying if that lets you end
up with more easily understandable source code.
