It could be a list after the backtrace perhaps, and not part of the
"modules linked in"?

But then you need a generic way of capturing those modules in the backtrace
that works for every architecture.

Honestly, I don't even know what a buildid is, and it is totally useless
information for myself. What exactly is it used for?
