Hi,
I'm debugging a strange grub2 issue in a Linux Virtual Machine running on
Hyper-V.
I have used the latest grub code from https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/grub.git:
commit c79ebcd18cf3e208e9dda5e2ae008f76c92fe451

I just noticed that COFF/a.out support for MIPS was removed as well
and shortly after restored since it seems that GRUB also needs
COFF/a.out support on MIPS.
So, can we h

Shouldn't that be a.out?
And we would still have the problem that other binaries for OBP
can no longer be generated using binutils.

Hello!
binutils/bfd recently removed a.out and COFF support for sparc [1].
Unfortunately, this means that we are no longer able to built GRUB
or SILO for sparc/sparc64 which need to be built as a.out binaries
as the Open Boot Firmware requires them to be in a.out format [2].
I would therefore li
Hi!
binutils upstream recently dropped support for a.out and COFF on sparc [1]
which now causes GRUB failing to build on sparc64-linux [2]:
if test x0 = x1; then ../grub-macho2img diskboot.image diskboot.img; else
objcopy -O binary --strip-unneeded -R .note -R .comment -R .note.gnu.build-i
1. move relocator related code more close to each other
2. use variable "len" since it has correct assignment, and keep coding
style with upper code
