This does not help. Build ID differs because the content of the binary
on which it has been calculated differs [1]. It's only random if there is
randomness in the content.

Just writing “randomness_in_gnu_build_id” is equivalent to “something is
different” between the compiled binaries. Not a good categorization.

 [1] Unless the build system diverges from the default. See
     `--build-id` in
     https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Options.html#Options
