Aside from compiling/linking issues, there is another thing to keep
in mind should there ever be a port of bootable GRUB2 parts to OF/
Mach-O. OS X uses a different calling convention, so any assembly
bits would have to be properly adjusted.
I still think the best solution here would be to c

I understand (still had my mind on GRUB 1 :)) - then looks like two
GCC installations will be
required to construct GRUB2 on OS X - one to generate OS X-hosted
GRUB utilities (which will
be Mach-O files), and one to generate ELF files that will be used in
the booting process.

Hello,
There is another issue with GRUB2 on OS X which I am not sure has
been brought up yet.
Right now, AFAIK (but I haven't tested it), GRUB2 (the part that runs
from OpenFrimware) can be built
with a bootstrap powerpc-elf-targetted GCC hosted on OS X. However,
the local GRUB2 binary (one

Because it is documented very well in the manual and it makes our development
easier. If you don't use nested functions, yo

I could be wrong, but GCC ap
I think the best solution would be to entirely avoid Apple's bundled
OS X-specific GCC. An powerpc-elf -targetted GCC cross-compiler
hosted on OS X should be perfect for both OpenSolaris and for GRUB2.
