I want to create an image file without superuser access. So I can't mount
a loopback device, so the grub directory is not actually inside the image:
it's the directory from which the target filesystem is created.
If there's another way to do that, I'd be glad to hear it.
grub-mkrescue
Sorry, I should have set: I want to create an *ext4* image file. grub-mkrescue
only makes an iso image and doesn't let me choose a partitioning. I did look
at patching grub-mkrescue first, but that just relies on xorriso to do the
heavy lifting so that doesn't help.
Granted, I could just dd the grub image into the mbr, but I wasn't entirely
sure
how to do that and this patch was simpler.
By the way, I'm also thinking about patching the build infrastructure
to support building a cross-installer (e.g. grub-mkimage as an x86
executable
but cross-compiling lib/grub/powerpc-ieee1275/*). Is there an interest for
that?
Long since done. It's also use for automated tests.
Yeah, cool! I didn't know I had to supply TARGET_CC - some other configures
use CC_FOR_BUILD - hence the confusion. Thanks!

Arnout
