LGTM.
From my point of view please merge this now, this is the best workaround which we have as proposal on the ML at the moment.
Of course, this can be replaced by a better solution once proposed as a concrete patch.

From my point of view, I think this overall problem can, must and likely will be solved in a better and cleaner way anyhow, once we switch to the meson build system.
