The official specification of the gABI says:
http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch5.dynamic.html#shobj_dependencies
~~~
Within a string provided by dynamic array entries with the DT_NEEDED or
DT_RUNPATH tags and in pathnames passed as parameters to the dlopen() routine,
a dollar sign ($) introduces a substitution sequence. This sequence consists of
the dollar sign immediately followed by either the longest name sequence or a
name contained within left and right braces ({) and (}). A name is a sequence
of bytes that start with either a letter or an underscore followed by zero or
more letters, digits or underscores. If a dollar sign is not immediately
followed by a name or a brace-enclosed name, the behavior of the dynamic linker
is unspecified. ~~~
Which seems to allow $ORIGIN$ORIGIN to me?
