this is cherry-picked from osbmk. the cherry-pick was
performed by i, leah rowe. this is adapted from shmalebx's
patch there, in osboot
specifically, these patches from osbmk are being imported:
327a39ef058d5385bf8c1a1b09bac8db6a51b016

The "dependencies" script are to be run as root. Without this fix, root will
create the version/versiondate file and then the rest of the build system will
break due to lack of root privilege.
this is forked from the "libre" branch in osboot, which is itself a libre,
deblobbed fork of osboot, a blobbed up fork of libreboot
libreboot needed to be purged clean. this is the new libreboot development
repository. the old one has been abandoned
