Use --build-id ld option
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. The build ID
can be recovered from stripped files, memory dumps, etc. and used to look up
the original program built, locate debuginfo or other details or history
associated with it. For normal program linking, the compiler passes
--build-id to ld by default, but the option is needed when using ld directly
as we do.
