Evaluate LDFLAGS_BUILD_ID (which involves invoking the compiler) only
once instead of over and over.
This provides a ~20% reduction in null build time with x86 allnoconfig:
$ make allnoconfig && make -j8
$ perf stat -r5 -e sched:sched_process_exec make -j8
- 2 119 sched:sched_process_exec
+ 1 878 sched:sched_process_exec
- 1,238817018 seconds time elapsed
+ 0,971020553 seconds time elapsed
