The scratchbox documentation, and the software itself, recommends setting vdso=0 or writing 0 to the /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled. Unfortunately neither
of those work when using a 64-bit kernel.

It seems there is a new kernel boot option "vdso32" which is used to control the behaviour of vdso for 32-bit programs (such as scratchbox) running under
64-bit kernels.  There is no /proc file to control this, however.

Please change the scratchbox documentation, and the message displayed when scratchbox detects the bad vdso setting, to mention that if a 64- bit kernel is in use, the (only) way to fix the problem is to set the vdso32=0 boot
command line option.

You could document this yourself in the wiki. The front page of this is at http://www.scratchbox.org/wiki/Scratchbox.

If you understand the cause of the issue, an explanation would be appreciated by those who do not.
