Yes, a virtual machine came to my mind. Easy to clone and to dispose. But there must be some better way to test a utility built from git independenly of systemwide directories.

But what to do about /usr/local/lib/grub ? I found option -d meanwhile. After some forth and back i came to pkgdatadir=. ./grub-mkrescue -o /dvdbuffer/test.iso -d ./grub-core which to my surprise creates an ISO with boot equipment for legacy BIOS: $ xorriso -indev /dvdbuffer/test.iso -report_el_torito plain -report_system_area plain ...

So i will start a new thread with the question: How do i convince the git clone to produce programs and ISO for 64 bit EFI.
