This change passes the --build-id when linking the kernel and when
linking modules, if ld supports it. This is a new GNU ld option that
synthesizes an ELF note section inside the read-only data. The note in
this section contains unique identifying bits called the "build ID",
which are generated so as to be different for any two linked ELF files
that aren't identical.

Does this mean that performing the same link twice *will* produce an identical result?
