Seems that the problem you are experiencing is caused by an ABI regression for
which I provided a fix in [1]. Could you please verify that works for you as well?

[1] https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg2046889.html

Please find below the tests that I conducted to verify that when
CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT is not defined or empty the compat vdso library is not exposed.

# cat main-arm32.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/auxv.h>

int main()
{
uintptr_t vdso = (uintptr_t) getauxval(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR);

printf("AT_SYSINFO_EHDR: %p\n", vdso);

[...]

return 0;
}

# file main-arm32
main-arm32: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically
linked, interpreter /lib/ld-, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, with d

When CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT is _not_ defined:
===========================================

# ./main-arm32
