The vdso64 portion of patch 74609f4536f2b8fd6a48381bbbe3cd37da20a527 for fixing problems with NULL gettimeofday input mistakenly checks for a null tz field twice, when it should be checking for null tz once, and null tv once; by way of a r10/r11 typo.
Any application calling gettimeofday(&tv,NULL) will "fail". This corrects that typo, and makes my G5 happy. tested on G5.
