Ok.

But what I mean... is if I am going to be able to build binary files
for ppc, ieee1275 and so on from a supergrub source package if I am
using an x86 system as my main machine?
What I mean by binary files is grub-cdrom-rescue.iso and
grub-floppy-rescue.img images SGD equivalents which are called
sgd_cdrom.iso and sgd_floppy.img if I recall them ok.
