We updated our u-boot sources to v2019.01 in QEMU commit f2a3b549e357041f86d7e, and we removed the scripts/make-release workaround in commit 082c0543baa6f23770, so all the loose ends I mentioned in comment #18 are now fixed and will be in QEMU 4.0.

This prevents installation on most macOS systems since by default the file system is case insensitive. The 2.10.0 upgrade is blocked in Homebrew due to this issue. See https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/17467. This is a regression from 2.9.0, which didn't have this problem.
