Details:
Compiling grub2 with glibc 2.16 results in a compilation failure due to 'gets'
undeclaration:-
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../intl -MT
argp-eexst.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/argp-eexst.Tpo -c -o argp-eexst.o argp-eexst.c
In file included from argp.h:22:0,
from argp-eexst.c:25:
./stdio.h:456:1: error: 'gets' undeclared here (not in a function)
-----
Working solution is to remove line 144 --
_GL_WARN_ON_USE (gets, "gets is a security hole - use fgets instead");
-- from grub/grub-core/gnulib/stdio.in.h in svn.
