I have guarantee that the library binary mapped in memory identified by
build-id can be found out there in the could. There is no other guarantee.
And this guarantee fails with other solutions.

If you say that it is _additional_ info to build-id then yes, one can always
use build-id if everything else fails. But then the non-build-id information
is redundant and it can just lead to wrong toolchain solutions - which has
already happened (Apport).
