    Add a Gnu build-id to gitlab-pages binary · 783ec4e5

    By default go binaries only include a Go build-id. Which is
    deterministic and unique.
    
    They don't include a Gnu build-id that should have the same
    properties.
    
    The Gnu build-id is used by several observably tools including
    perf. Having a Gnu build-id allow these tools to uniquely identify a
    binary and avoid conflicts when resolving debug symbols for those
    binaries.
    
    We're generating a Gnu build-id from the Go build-id, that way we're
    sure to also have a deterministic and unique build-id. We do this by
    compiling the binary once, getting the Go build-id from that, and then
    re-building including a Gnu build-id.
