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.
As Uwe hinted, this of course has nothing to do with a distribution but rather a specific package.
Long term, we work with upstream for that package.
Short term, I like Ron's test at buildtarget time, and saving that in a Make.buildparam.or.whatever in the freshly created build directory.

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.
Almost, it seems to output the number of times the string is found.
I suggest ld --help|grep -q build-id instead, which may even be slightly easier to work with in a script.
