LS,

Finally had a change to finish the LFS build. Alas, the grub-install reported the old error "Decompression is too big".
Here is the solution to add to the section to compile grub:

# Patch gentpl.py to avoid an error from grub-mkinstall "Decompressor is too big"
# Source: https://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel@gnu.org/msg29840.html
#
sed -i -E "s@(.*-R .note.gnu.gold-version -R)(.*)@\1 .note.gnu.property -R\2@" gentpl.py
ln -fs /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python  # grub needs 'python'
./autogen.sh
rm -f /usr/bin/python

./configure .......
