I take it that would mean building the grub2 package and tweaking the

There is some grub2-mkimage or something to do that, you don't need to
rebuild the package. Looking at how it is done during build might be
helpful for producing similar results, though.

OK, I'll try that if time permits.

Sounds like it is not worth the hassle to support the board. Even if grub2
can be modified to never hang AND u-boot can be configured to reboot instead
of waiting forever, I may still end up with a device that will just boot
forever and will not be usable in a normal way.

On one hand I would see it that way. On the other it exposes in the
extreme the problems you would run into when trying to make a system
reliably boot always, and the work you do here may be useful to others
in other situations if you document it. YMMV

I will try to find some time to dig around. But the time might be better spent by adding paragraph to the Pine64 entry in the Wiki, stating the current (unreliable) state of support for this device.

Kind Regards,
Johannes

P.S.: And if I did not mention this clearly enough: Thanks a lot for your help!
