I tried your config file and seems working correctly:

# cp ~/config ../linux-out/.config
# make oldconfig
# make

arch/arm64/Makefile:56: CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT not defined or empty, the compat
vDSO will not be built

---

Could you please send to me the config file that does not contain:
CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT_VDSO=""

The original one I mean, on which you did not run make oldconfig.
My suspect at this point is that the string passed to
CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT_VDSO is not completely empty.

In fact if I do CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT_VDSO=" " (single space),
I do have a failure similar to the one you reported.
