This patch allows compilation to succeed with compilers that support
-DRETPOLINE -
it was kindly contributed by H.J. Liu in GCC Bugzilla: 84908 :
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=84908
Apparently the GCC retpoline implementation has a limitation that it
cannot
handle switch statements with more than 5 clauses, which
vclock_gettime.c's
__vdso_clock_gettime function now contains.
The automated test builds should now succeed with this patch.
