default enabled --build-id causes excessive memory utilization for f77 codes with a large BSS
Issue
- Fortran77 requires static arrays which end up as BSS sections in the binary.
- When a process is being linked and it gets to the part where it it calculates the build-id, it allocates all that space (which is nothing but zeros) and then calculates the buildid including that.
- This greatly increases the time needed to link the binary, can cause this shared diskless machine to oomkill, and impacts other users who are trying to do something.
