So how about this
(ld --help) | awk '{for (i=1;i<=NF;i++) if ($i ~ /build-id/){n++} }; END {print n}'
This will return a 1 if it finds the string build-id in the ld help.

That would work, but this brings up a rather interesting point. What are we todo about all the other Distros? At some point (if not already) they will also face a similar issue.
Yep, true. The correct thing IMO is to check for the actual feature/bug, not for version number strings of compilers or programs or distros.
