LS,
Finally had a change to finish the LFS build. Alas, the grub-install
reported the old error "Decompression is too big".
Here is the solution to add to the section to compile grub:
# Patch gentpl.py to avoid an error from grub-mkinstall "Decompressor
is too big"
# Source: https://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel@gnu.org/msg29840.html
#
sed -i -E "s@(.*-R .note.gnu.gold-version -R)(.*)@\1
.note.gnu.property -R\2@" gentpl.py
ln -fs /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python # grub needs 'python'
./autogen.sh
rm -f /usr/bin/python
./configure .......

Thanks for this Frans ! I just ran across this same error yesterday
working with LFS - Version 20210206-systemd.
I also noticed that the grub-install actually worked in spite of this
error.
Much to my surprise the system actually booted ...
I am working through the LFS- Version 20210206-systemd install again
and will add in the fix and see how it goes...
Jim
It works on sysvinit and systemd configurations. After all, the compile
of grub is the same for both versions. And, yes, the systems will boot,
but when using scripts to build LFS and being halted because of errors,
I added the last three lines to get everything cleanly compiled and
installed.
Pierre is looking if there is another patch possible. For now we can
work with it.
