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 .......

Thanks for this Frans ! I just ran across this same error yesterday
working with LFS - Version 20210206-systemd.
I also noticed that the grub-install actually worked in spite of this error.
Much to my surprise the system actually booted ...
I am working through the LFS- Version 20210206-systemd install again and
will add in the fix and see how it goes...
Jim
