in a few places, we use the presence of a file found
by fx_ to cause an exit, but the command that runs
looks something like:
exit 1 "string"
this yields an error, and a non-zero exit, because of
too many arguments to "exit", but we wanted a non-zero
exit anyway.
nevertheless, this is incorrect.
to fix it, eval is used instead. if the never-going-to-exist
condition one day exists where exit 1 actually returns, not,
you know, exits, we will use err instead, with the string
as argument.
this should be fine. it's a bit hacky, but so is fx_, and
it works. fx_ is used in several places to keep the sloccount
down, providing a common way to perform while loops on the
output of a command; that is its only purpose..

otherwise, we create empty directories where build.list
doesn't exist, like on coreboot.
we already create a directory when needed, when actually
copying elf files, so let's just leave it at that.

many places in cbmk used err, because older versions
of x_ did not handle globbing properly.
however, use of x_ is preferable on trivial commands.
the only time err() should be called is what it has
to be, when x_ can't work, or when a more useful error
message is needed, for context.
