Right; since we pick the s.module_name only after pass-2 is complete,
tapsets.cxx can mix into the hash all the buildid chunks from files it
encounters during derived_probe building. It's adding to that
anything extra added via "-d MODULE" that's the trick, but that can
wait awhile.

Well, that only matters if grabbing the buildid takes any incremental
time over what we're already doing.
