FTBFS due to lacking a file. We can just create this file with the expected content as a work around:

​https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/tree/grub-core/extra_deps.lst

Just echo depends bli part_gpt > grub-core/extra_deps.lst

touch grub-core/extra_deps.lst is enough to get around it.

The content may have an influence on the list of modules integrated into the main GRUB image running grub-install so we should make it correct to avoid potential failures with some configuration.

Works fine on my old Athlon 64 3000+ (with grub-core/extra_deps.lst created).
