Including meta infos is indeed very helpful, especially when I need to identify a binary after a few weeks and remember what the compilation settings were back then.
The RoarVM uses the following, which works quite good for my purposes:
https://github.com/smarr/RoarVM/commit/44c9669bc919937e9bdd26daf06b992be24e3189
That includes the git id of the current checkout, the path, compiler version, compilation host, and whether the code was compiled optimized.
Best regards
Stefan
