Bug#562953: built with wrong options causing horrendously big core.img size

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98~20091210-1
Severity: grave

"if test "x$TARGET_CFLAGS" = x; then" upstream check in configure.ac caused
GRUB build to miss -Os optimization, loop/function alignment hack and GCC 4.4
-fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm flag.

This increases core.img size considerably and will break some setups and
make many setups less reliable.
