Thanks for the readelf output. That was most helpful to see what's going
on. The buildid code isn't prepared for this it seems. We'll need to
check the note data to see if it starts with "GNU\0" and if it does then
we use it as the buildid. I'm not sure what this Xen note is that has a
type of 3 but I think that's OK, it won't have "GNU" in there so we
should ignore it. Does this patch work?
