Before this lands I'm planning to also file cleanup bugs for each of the functions that currently has a warning.

set(ENTRYPOINT_EXT_TARGET_TYPE "ENTRYPOINT_EXT")

# Rule to check if a list of dependencies contains any entrypoint objects. Returns a list in entrypoint_deps.

You shouldn't have implicit out-parameter entrypoint_deps, make it a required first argument of this call.
fq_dep_list can be implicitly collected in ARGN is another option:

function(check_entrypoint_deps entrypoint_deps)

then all the strings provided in the calls check_entrypoint_deps(entrypoint_deps ...) will be collected in ARGN list. So inside the loop, you just need

foreach(dep IN LISTS ARGN)

and this function can be called as:

check_entrypoint_deps(entrypoint_deps ${fq_dep_list})

"libc.src.errno.errno"
"libc.src.setjmp.longjmp"
)
LIST(FIND ALLOWED_DEPS ${dep} dep_index)

before the foreach loop, you can remove the ALLOWED_DEPS list from the input list:

list(REMOVE_ITEM fq_dep_list ${ALLOWED_DEPS})

check_entrypoint_deps("${fq_deps_list}")
endif()
if(NOT "${entrypoint_deps}" STREQUAL "")
message(WARNING "Entrypoint ${fq_target_name} depends on public entrypoint(s) ${entrypoint_deps}.\nDepending on public entrypoints is not allowed in internal code.")

nit: break the string into multiple lines
