That assumes a VPATH build with /src as the --srcdir and /tmp as the build
location, but the addition of $0 to the output does make it read better.

No.  This file is pulled from upstream, via 'make fetch', and will just
revert during the next pull.  Besides, .gitattributes already exempts it.
 The proper fix would need to be fed upstream.

With those nits, it means patch 1 and 3 now use consistent wording, so I
would be okay with squashing those into one patch and applying.  Let me
know if you want me to do the grunt work.
