I think it the concept is not obvious to the user, maybe we could omit that functionality? Are you going to use it anywhere? > P.S. could you improve & commit your target libc patch? I'm looking at it now, but it will take some time. I've just noticed that I didn't post another patch that is required for correct implementation (AC_CHECK_FUNCS doesn't work if the target headers are missing). Also, I want to eliminate GRUB_SOURCE, at least from the configuration scripts. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
