If I try to use PGOPTIMIZE instead of PGUPDATE, the linker complains:
46:06.59 webapprt.obj : fatal error LNK1270: invalid file; timestamp does not match file linked with /LTCG:PGINSTRUMENT

sorry had to back this out since this was breaking linux pgo builds like https://treeherder.mozilla.org/ui/logviewer.html#?job_id=3679965&repo=mozilla-inbound
Damn, that's because maybe_clobber_profiledbuild actually removes a lot of stuff, including buildid :(
(on linux, that is)
Could you rewrite this like:
ifndef MOZ_PROFILE_USE
buildid: FORCE
endif
buildid:
...

That would not fix the problem, since buildid would still be recreated, since it's removed. I think the best course of action is to change maybe_clobber_profiledbuild to not remove so much stuff. Or, simpler short-term fix, remove buildid from GARBAGE. It's not like make clean really works anyways.
My make skills are weak, so please tell me what I'm missing here: Can we not provide a recipe to create buildid whenever it's missing? On Windows, it's not removed, so it wouldn't be re-created, right?
(I admit the previous comment is Windows-centric. Just trying to get unblocked. Ideally we wouldn't do unnecessary work on any platform.)
