Hi,

When I try to install Debian on a Lemote Yeeloong, GRUB installation
fails with the following error message:

> source_dir doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory

grub-install uses the output of "uname -m" to determine what to set
target to.  "uname -m" outputs mips64, so target is set to mips-arc,
but /usr/lib/grub/mips-arc does not exist.  If I pass
"--target=mipsel-loongson", grub-install succeeds.
