You start with the elf header, find the program headers, iterate to find the PT_NOTE segment (there could be more of them), and iterate over the notes until you find NT_GNU_BUILD_ID. All of these things should be in the memory (=> also in the core file) and within the first 4k of the mapping. There should be no need to search through a potentially huge file mapping just to see if it contains the build id.

Yes, we can parse the program headers. That is a good idea as long as all the info we need is mapped
