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.
