Details:
grub-core/genmod.sh.in calls objcopy several times, when it should call
@objc...@.
Noticed this issue when following the Macbook pure EFI tutorial
(http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnMacbook). I'm installing a 32-bit version of
Linux From Scratch, so I built a cross-compiling toolchain, which, in my case,
installed the 64-bit objcopy as /usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-objcopy.
./configure --target=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu finds that objcopy just fine, but
when make runs genmod.sh it calls the objcopy in my PATH, which is aimed at 32
bit systems and therefore doesn't recognize the format. The fix is simple:
substitute each instance of objcopy with @objc...@. A simple `sed -e
's/objcopy/@OBJCOPY@/g' grub/grub-core/genmod.sh.in.orig >
grub/grub-core/genmod.sh.in
` should suffice, but I've attached a patch (generated with diff -Naur on
OSX) anyway.
