Sure, there can be some issues. We went through several such things
when we first deployed build IDs in Fedora, and various things got fixed
up. On occasion someone will just decide that -Wl,--build-id=none is
the most sensible thing for their particular situation.

People who object can always use --disable-linker-build-id, of course.
Certainly the subject merits some release notes advice.
