Indeed. The polaris sources are not updated yet.
http://svn.genunix.org/repos/polaris/trunk/usr/src/Makefile
Look for "ppc_SUBDIR" near the top. Since the GRUB2 is
not buildable under Solaris at all now, let alone cross building
it - the build process is done on the Linux box. That's why it wasn't
imported into polaris source tree. usr/src/grub still holds x86
version.

P.S. I think we need to put a couple of words on that subject on
PPC community page. I'll do it.
