I just want to throw away the build-id as I don't have debug packages 
nor am I using sub-packages. This is just a project to build LFS and 
inserting rpm as a package manager as LFS does not have a package 
manager.  I just need to kill off the build-id files in the binary rpm 
package as the installation fails because /usr/lib/buil-id doe not 
exist.  Having build-id files has no use on my scratch built systems.
That is why I want to just kill them off.

I get the build-id issue when I am using arch linux as the host.
If I use a scratch built linux for the host build-id does not show up in 
the first build of a package but it does show up if I rebuild the package.

Thanks
