Doing such things as root is very discouraged.

Well, like Stefan said, this is the part that could have told me
that libftdi is already installed.

I could have seen this earlier... you are not calling your self-built
flashrom at all. You call the one pre-installed by GalliumOS. If you
want to run a binary that is not in a directory in your $PATH envi-
ronment variable, you have to prefix it with a path, e.g. `./flashrom
-p ft2232_spi` if you want to run the flashrom in the current directory.
