But you could easily have two tests.  One which checks that .note.gnu.build-id
is handled properly, but which will not run on targets which do not support the
generation of build-ids.  Then you could have a second test, which would run
for all (ELF) targets, which does not use --build-id, but which does still check
that similarly aligned notes are combined and placed into properly aligned segments.

Cheers
