The thing about the build ID section that brings up issues with linking is that it is a SHF_ALLOC, SHT_NOTE section. As you mentioned, this is a general, straightforward, and well-defined thing in ELF. But in practice, there were not previously SHF_ALLOC note sections used with custom linker scripts like the kernel's. (They are used every day in normal executables and DSOs, but those don't use custom linker scripts.)
