After this fix it might make sense to do a s/no_buildid/build_id 
across the source and negate all the conditions. Generally it's 
cleaner to have no negation in structure field names, it avoids 
such double and triple negation problems.

The feature bit did it correctly: it has HEADER_BUILD_ID which 
signals the presence of build-ids.

( Btw., in error messages it might make sense to do a 
  subsystem-wide s/buildid/build-id rename as well, to make it 
  all easier to read - when I read 'buildid' I often keep 
  wondering who that Buil guy is and what he did. )

Thanks,
