That's because it presumes that the buildid note section will be
located somewhat after .text.  In the case of your arm kernel build,
that's not the case.

That's only the build issue.  Does the code *run* though, meaning does
it actually verify the buildid bits at virtual address 0x0-ish on your
arm kernel?  I suspect not.
