Bug#744954: grub2: FTBFS on powerpc

[Nicolas Boullis]

Source: grub2
Version: 1.99-27+deb7u2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

While investigating bug #737999, I tried to build grub2 with pbuilder on 
my PowerPC system. Unfortunately, it fails with:

|    debian/rules override_dh_install
| make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/buildd/grub2-1.99'
| dh_install -pgrub2 -pgrub-linuxbios -pgrub-efi -pgrub-rescue-pc -pgrub-firmware-qemu
| cp: cannot stat `debian/tmp/build/grub-rescue-pc/grub-rescue-cdrom.iso': No such file or directory
| dh_install: cp -a debian/tmp/build/grub-rescue-pc/grub-rescue-cdrom.iso debian/grub-rescue-pc/usr/lib/grub-rescue/ returned exit code 1
| make[1]: *** [override_dh_install] Error 2
| make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/grub2-1.99'
| make: *** [binary] Error 2

After some investigation, it seems that a binary-only build, limited to 
architecture dependent packages, works fine, but not an unlimited 
binary-only build or a full (binary+source) build.

For what it’s worth, here is a quick&dirty patch that solves the problem 
for me.


Cheers,
