I was thinking to only report the build ID when the VMA queried
is executable. If software wanted to look up a data symbol
and needs that buildid it would need to check a x vma too.

Normally tools iterate over all the mappings anyways so this
shouldn't be a big burden for them.

Did I miss something?

I guess an alternative would be a new VMA flag, but iirc we're low on
bits there already.
