As Uwe hinted, this of course has nothing to do with a distribution
but rather a specific package.

Long term, we work with upstream for that package.

Short term, I like Ron's test at buildtarget time, and saving that in
a Make.buildparam.or.whatever in the freshly created build directory.

Almost, it seems to output the number of times the string is found.

I suggest ld --help|grep -q build-id instead, which may even be
slightly easier to work with in a script.
