Dear Glenn,
Thank you for your tireless awesome work on GRUB.

Gnulib does not define abort(), but expects it to be defined, usually by a
libc implementation. However, GRUB has no libc and does not have an abort()
function. Until recently GRUB had patched out abort() in gnulib, effectively
making it a noop. This changed with a recent update of the version of g
Autoconf will set a default CFLAGS of "-g -O2" if CFLAGS is not set. CFLAGS
was defaulted to "" early in configure to prevent this. Apparently something
changed in autoconf and now AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, which is before the
default setting of CFLAGS, will pull in this check. Move the default
set

grub_min(a,b) and grub_max(a,b) use a relatively naive implementation
which leads to several problems:
- they evaluate their parameters more than once
- the naive way to address this, to declare temporary variables in a
statement-expression, isn't resilient against nested uses, because
