vDSO is a good way to mitigate issues like these. It's also a better stable ABI than libc, and easier to maintain than pure kernel ABI (like Linux does), because nobody forbids the kernel to inject different vDSOs to different binaries, if a need arises.

vDSO is also a language independent construct, so there's no special treatment for any favorite language, be it C (OpenBSD), C++ (Windows) or Oberon OS (Oberon).
