Package: grub Version: 0.97-1 Severity: important Hi,
grub is failing to build on amd64 with the following error: checking whether objcopy works for absolute addresses... no configure: error: GRUB requires a working absolute objcopy; upgrade your binutils I've reported this ages ago to binutils: http://bugs.debian.org/244498 Afaik, the reason we didn't have a problem with this is that we had a 32 bit version of grub. There is no reason why a 32 bit version shouldn't work. This seems to have been changed by Manolo Díaz's (CC'd) request in #337288, and I think he should just enable ia32 emulation support in his kernel. I don't mind having a 64 bit version of this, but please let someone test that it actually works before you upload it. Kurt
