Hello Adolf,
There is something on the GRUB list about this:
https://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel%40gnu.org/msg42915.html?
It seems that it is either a bug in the linker or in GRUB, but there does not
seem to be a solution.
Interesting that it is only the flash images that fail and not the cdrom. arch
Linux have updated to it and I now have it on all my systems and I ran the
grub-install and grub-mkconfig successfully for all systems.
I suppose we will have to wait for a fix from upstream.
No problems. I have also put the grub-btrfs update into the hold category as
that was also updated to 2.14 and don't want to cause problem with that.
Regards,
Adolf.
Best,

Hi All,
Grub-2.14 has been released and I have built it. The build was able to be run
successfully.
The build also successfully ran the cdrom stage but it then failed in the
flash-images section of the build.
I reverted grub back to the previous version and flash-images was able to be
built without any issues.
Here is the end of the log showing the error that caused flash-images to fail.
Any help or suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. If
more of the flash-images build log is required then I can put it into the
IPFire pastebin (it is around 3000 lines).
