Oh cool, someone else found the same issue I did. I submitted the following
patch the other day, since the only LDFLAG parameter that is actually breaking
build ID functionality is the prefix maps, which include build paths. That was a
change made way back when to address an issue that has long since been solved.
We can safely revert it now, assuming nobody is using external toolchains older
than GCC 12.

Alternatively, we could just conditionally remove those arguments for go
applications only. Up to you all.
