The idea is following the distro toolchain default (which can be
configured building binutils).

If the distro toolchain default is gnu, we'll use gnu.

If the distro toolchain default is both, the distro is already wasting
space everywhere for (a) some bizarre applications depending on DT_HASH
for some bizzare reason; or (b) an oversight.

In the case of (a) the bizarre application may needs DT_HASH in vDSO as
well, and in the case of (b) it should be fixed for the entire distro,
not only vDSO, for example what we are doing for AOSC:
