It's simpler to mark all input .note.gnu.build-id sections with
SEC_EXCLUDE then use bfd_make_section_anyway_with_flags to create a
new section.  That way you'll avoid any problems that might occur when
trying to use an existing section.  For example, the size might change
with a change in build-id style, leading to section contents buffer
overflow.
