For instance, here using -vvv I get:

[r...@emilia ~]# perf annotate -vvv memcpy > /dev/null
build id event received for [kernel.kallsyms]: 
310920b54cbbf242dbfa09052f652806d2c73821
build id event received for /lib64/libtinfo.so.5.7:

I'm removing all vmlinux from the path so that I can reproduce what you see.
