Hi,

a note regarding this fix:

2010-04-11  Vladimir Serbinenko <...>

        Fix cygwin compilation.

        * configure.ac: Define NEED_REGISTER_FRAME_INFO.
        * include/grub/misc.h (__register_frame_info)
        [NEED_REGISTER_FRAME_INFO && !UTIL]: New export.
(__deregister_frame_info) [NEED_REGISTER_FRAME_INFO && !UTIL]: Likewise.
        * kern/misc.c (__register_frame_info)
        [NEED_REGISTER_FRAME_INFO && !UTIL]: New empty function.
(__deregister_frame_info) [NEED_REGISTER_FRAME_INFO && !UTIL]: Likewise.

The *_frame_info symbols are set undefined to force linkage of the libgcc_s shared library or dll.

This can be prevented by TARGET_LDFLAGS=-static-libgcc. To build from grub-1.98 tarball on Cygwin, run configure with this argument.

May also be necessary on other build platforms when -shared-libgcc is the default. It may be possible simply set -static-libgcc unconditionally.
