Should be possible I'll take a look. But in most cases i found on the web malloc
is a good subtitute to memalign.

I agree argp is techically superior but adding a library in Grub2 mean keeping
it up-to-date with the mainstream distribution. This add a little anoyng work
just to add some functionalities that aren't used. If you really want to add it
I can do it but I'm not sure it is necessary.

Ok promise next time I will look before asking stupid question ;)

I found another glibc specific function : alloca. Used in cmain in
boot/powerpc/ieee1275/cmain.c. I repace it by declaring argv as an array of 64
elements : char *arg[64] (should be enouth ?). As the variables are allocated
in the stack just like alloca do it should work just the same.
I have another question about -DGRUB_UTIL. Can it be used to distinguish the
host compiled part and the build compiled part of grub ?
I have to handle types differenty in host and build as the build part doesn't
have stdlib.h. But this method fails on boot/powerpc/ieee1275/cmain.c that is
compiled with powerpc-elf-gcc (build) and the -DGRUB_UTIL flag.
Thanks for your answers
