Version: 0.97-1
Severity: important

Hi,

grub is failing to build on amd64 with the following error:
checking whether objcopy works for absolute addresses... no
configure: error: GRUB requires a working absolute objcopy; upgrade your =
binutils

I've reported this ages ago to binutils:
http://bugs.debian.org/244498

Afaik, the reason we didn't have a problem with this is that we
had a 32 bit version of grub.  There is no reason why a 32 bit
version shouldn't work.

This seems to have been changed by Manolo D=EDaz's (CC'd) request in
#337288, and I think he should just enable ia32 emulation support
in his kernel.

I don't mind having a 64 bit version of this, but please let
someone test that it actually works before you upload it.

Kurt
