Some members here in the past have expressed interest in supporting
after-market firmware creation for consumer devices.

Most have remained non-committal.

Buildroot does provide the string field for the end-user to pass
custom link-time options.

The point is, it should either work or be documented as to its
limitations.
That meets any definition of a "bug" in Buildroot.
Not a "unsupported use case", a "bug", as in "broke" by implementation".

I would be glad to fix it for you if I could.
