Oh and I forgot to mention, that the powerpc version doestn't even build
now with 1.97~beta4:
_restgpr_31_x in boot is not defined
Full build log is here:

Hello Felix,
I now reach to install grub for my debian unstable installation on my
ibm p5 lpar (the unstable 1.97~beta3-1) but unfortunately failed to
boot because failed to find a symbol (sorry I forget to take note of it).
I so jump to svn (release 2641 and today 2642); no luck always this
same error:
_restgpr_31_x in boot is not defined
From the name and what we discussed with Felix on IRC I guess this
symbol is a counterpart of MIPS' __gnu_local_gp which is used in
handling GOT relocations which allow usage of a single instruction to
load 32-bit address instead of usual 2 but require linker to generate
additional table. You can look into kern/mips/dl.c of my mips branch for
details. Similar approach can be used for powerpc. I suppose it would be
a good idea to put this code to kern/got.c instead of kern/<arch>. But
such a change just before release is too big.
Since it correspond to a recent change in gcc behaviour perhaps an old
behaviour can be restored with an option.
I well reach to grab your mips git tree, but I don't have deep knowledge in programming, so I will need a bit of time to
analyse ;<)
Tx a lot,
J.
I so re-try to build the deb pkg 1.97~beta3-1; too bad again this same
error???
Could it be so a gcc issue (debian build of 1.97~beta3-1 was with
gcc-4.4 4.4.1-3; here I rebuild with gcc-4.4 4.4.1-6 and even most
recent 4.4.2-1?)
I so try to come back to gcc 4.3 and this time it build fine (not yet
tested if this one boot, sorry).
Any idea?
Tia,
j.
ps: I also tried to test bean123 git branch (grab this Oct 19) but
this failed to build early to compile normal/main.c (gcc didn't find
some references to some grub_... struct and fnct)
