Re: Build-id mismatch: "kernel" vs. "vmlinux" byte 0 (0x82 vs 0x47)

Hi Josh,
thanks for your comment.

As you predict, kernel string/kernel-uek pkg/kernel-uek-debuginfo pkg's 
time signature are all different.
In fact, 2.6.39-200.29.2.el6uek are a variant of upstream 3.2.5 or 
later. So this maybe an upstream issue.
