That looks ok to me. If you want to be technically precise, the build ID
note is not necessarily a section per se. It's an input section, but may
be just part of the middle of a larger output section. Precisely speaking,
it's an ELF note, which is a self-identifying portion of a SHT_NOTE section
or of the linked image as selected by a PT_NOTE program header.
Thanks,
Roland
