would it be so terrible to properly marshall this data ?
Ximin Luo and I discussed this and I wonder if it is possible to read
out the libc.so.6 build ID if it is present. It should indirectly call
all the layout dependencies and be reasonably easy to access because it
is in an allocated section (and we might want to print it from an
libc.so.6 invocation, too).
We still need the time-based approach if the build ID is not available,
but I expect most distributions will have something like it.
