Gotcha.

Ok.

Isn't the fact that my iBook G4 booted the grub-mkrescue image just
find proof enough?

No idea. But when I add it, xorriso actually complains.

Looking at the grub-mkrescue.c source, I figured the proper linking would be:
xorriso_link ("/System/Library/CoreServices/grub.elf",
"/boot/grub/powerpc-ieee1275/core.elf");
xorriso_link ("/boot/grub/powerpc.elf",
"/boot/grub/powerpc-ieee1275/core.elf");

I will give it a try, however with the matching that for the elf files as
mkrescue
uses it. That's what works, after all.
