If you want to be technically precise, the build ID note is not necessarily a section per se. It's an input section, but may be just part of the middle of a larger output section. Precisely speaking, it's an ELF note, which is a self-identifying portion of a SHT_NOTE section or of the linked image as selected by a PT_NOTE program header. Thanks, Roland
