$ grub-0.97> ./configure --prefix=/usr ... checking whether objcopy works for absolute addresses... no configure: error: GRUB requires a working absolute objcopy; upgrade your binutils ... $ echo $CC $ _ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This bug is originally reported by Kurt Roeckx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=244498 "When grub's configure script runs it looks to the output of objcopy -O binary and complains that 2 files linked with an other address results in a different file. It seems that on amd64 this isn't working properly. When running configure it says: configure: error: GRUB requires a working absolute objcopy; upgrade your binutils in acinclude.m4: dnl Some versions of `objcopy -O binary' vary their output depending dnl on the link address. .... Running the test program mannually, once linked at 2000 once at 8000 shows this difference (hexdump of the binary file): 0000000 4855 e589 04c7 0025 0010 0200 0000 c900 0000010 00c3 0000 0000 0000 0014 0000 0000 0000 0000020 0001 7801 0c10 0807 0190 0000 0000 0000 -0000030 001c 0000 001c 0000 2000 0000 0000 0000 +0000030 001c 0000 001c 0000 8000 0000 0000 0000 0000040 0011 0000 0000 0000 0e41 8610 4302 060d 0000050 It shows the difference are the addresses linked at.
