This wasn't a bug in binutils (grub's configure message was in error),
and I fixed this in the grub package in 9.10.
grub (0.97-29ubuntu58) karmic; urgency=low
* objcopy-absolute.diff (update): Remove .note, .comment, and
.note.gnu.build-id sections from images (LP: #444703).

grub (0.97-29ubuntu57) karmic; urgency=low
* cache_coherency.diff (update): Add Debian bug link.
* objcopy-absolute.diff: Backport from grub2 (Lubomir Kundrak): take only
.text section into account, as newer toolchains generate unique build
ids.
