How do you prepare brltty for compilation? Do you use its configure script?
I cheat. I've adjusted config.h manually and have put it in
grub-core/braille. There is a conflict with our own config.h in the
variables like PACKAGE_NAME but I've just removed PACKAGE_NAME for
brltty for time being.
async should now be okay (now meaning the latest development code). If neither
poll() nor select() is available, it leaves out all of the I/O monitoring stuff
except that asyncRead() and asyncWrite() report ENOSYS (function not
supported). The alarm stuff still works, though.
What kind of monitoring would you like to have? In GRUB network and usb
are currently async, rest is sync.
Does grub have nanosleep()? If not, what's the best way to delay for a known
small amount of time?
grub_millisleep

That's not currently possible.

Warnings are secondary. We can add -Wno- for brltty.

Fairly easily: copy it to grub-core/braille/brltty and apply the patch.
