The can be fixed by `touch config.rpath`
configure does actually run this, so I'd recommend copying the file from
gettext or gnulib instead.
config.{guess,sub} are automatically updated. Can't config.rpath be
handled the same way?
In any case, this warning is harmless AFAICT.
Yes, it is harmless, but removing it is just more professional. I don't
have a problem with suppressing specific warnings if they have been
considered and found inappropriate.
I'm pretty sure config.rpath only exists for ld. There is is only used
when linking an ELF executable with shared objects. Since GRUB doesn't
create any libraries, then it is not appropriate. An empty config.rpath
is not unreasonable in this case.
config.guess, config.sub, missing, mkinstalldirs, and install-sh are
only copied from /usr/share/automake-<version> as a part of automake.
AFAICT, they are not used in GRUB. I'm pretty sure they are the same on
all architectures, but I could be wrong about that.
