MT#61993 build: Force recursive variables into simple ones

Starting with GNU make 4.4, build time have massively regressed
where before they would take 5m on amd64 now can take 2h40m. While this
seems clearly broken, the release notes are filled with notices for
breaking changes, and in particular the one for passing all make
variables down to the invoked programs executed via the «shell» GNU make
function, so it is not clear what is expected breakage and what is not.

This has been reported in Debian, but not yet upstream, and while it
seems like a clear regression, it's not clear what will be the upstream
take on it. For now apply workarounds that do not change semantics, and
which do not regress with older GNU make versions.

Use the GNU make «origin» function instead of «?=» which defaults to
defining a variable as a recursive one. Coerce already defined variables
into simple ones to avoid GNU make re-evaluating these variables for
each «shell» function invocation.
