On my setup I get
bob at generic:/boot/msdos % strings start4.elf | grep VC_BUILD_ID_          

VC_BUILD_ID_USER: dom                                                     

VC_BUILD_ID_TIME: 12:55:10                                                

VC_BUILD_ID_VARIANT: start                                                

VC_BUILD_ID_TIME: Mar  5 2021                                             

VC_BUILD_ID_BRANCH: bcm2711_2                                             

VC_BUILD_ID_HOSTNAME: buildbot                                            

VC_BUILD_ID_PLATFORM: raspberrypi_linux                                   

VC_BUILD_ID_VERSION: 8ed5b5711855476273c45bb0754d9e23903a42e7 (clean)


Start4.elf was one of the files copied from the link Manu posted.

I've not yet tried commenting out hdmi_safe=1 in config.txt
but will at the next reboot. Right now the machine is doing
a world/kernel build.

Thanks for your attention!
