programs: grub, grub-install,

The GRUB package contains the GRand Unified Bootloader.
This package is known to have issues when its default optimization flags (including the -march and -mcpu options) are changed. If any environment variables that override default optimizations have been defined, such as CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, unset them when building GRUB.
Prepare GRUB for compilation:
CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr
Compile the package:
make
To test the results, issue: make check.
Install the package:
make install
mkdir -v /boot/grub
cp -v /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-pc/stage{1,2} /boot/grub
Replace x86_64-pc with whatever directory is appropriate for the hardware in use.
The x86_64-pc directory contains a number of *stage1_5 files, different ones for different file systems. Review the files available and copy the appropriate ones to the /boot/grub directory. Most users will copy the e2fs_stage1_5 and/or reiserfs_stage1_5 files.
