The 'Now" comment is just a text message edit -
that is within my paygrade to handle.  ;)

And maybe an addition to the "known bugs" in the manual.
I think this one will be around for a long time.

The "fix" (work-a-round) of assigning the output of a:
 "printf '%s' '$' 'ORIGIN' ... "
I was using, was in a post image build script (outside of Buildroot).
(I no longer need an '$ORIGIN' - changed my planning to not need it.)

I don't know the "Make" equivalent, nor where in the infrastructure
the change needs to be made.

Something way outside of my paygrade I am afraid.

That will have to wait for someone very familiar with the BR
infrastructure to have a long lasting attack of boredom and
free time.
