Humm, don't we better do it as:

+       memcpy(&ev.build_id.build_id, pos->bid.data, min(pos->bid.size, sizeof(pos->bid.data));

Lemme check what is setting that pos->bid.size....

Things like sysfs__read_build_id() that does such checks, but perhaps we
should be defensive and do it in this function as well?
