[Buildroot] [PATCH v3 06/18] reproducibility/linux: inhibit build-id

["Jérôme Pouiller" <jezz@sysmic.org>]

Linux kernel include build path in debug sections. These sections are stripped
and do not impact build reproducibility directly. However, 'build-id'
depends on content of all sections, including debug sections. So, it
add random bytes in section .notes of kernel image[1]:

  $ readelf -Wn .../vmlinux
  Displaying notes found at file offset 0x00008000 with length 0x00000024:
    Owner                 Data size       Description
    GNU                  0x00000014       NT_GNU_BUILD_ID (unique build ID bitstring)
      Build ID: ca689e2ed3944f49474715908e2ac1bb04907fb2

In order to not depend on build path, patch kernel Makefile to disable
'build-id'.
