        So the proposal is to add --enable-linker-build-id to CFLAGS?

        OK, I guess that would work. But you still have the advantage,
 using the current debug link mechanism, of looking to see if you have
 debug symbols for a given executable/library easily, without having to
 compute potentially 3 checksums (depending on which algorithm was
 selected at build time) and trying to match that (in multiple
 directories).

        Can you  point ot me the disadvantage of continuing to use what
 dh_strip does now?
