background:
 I am attempting to network boot a early mac mini (core solo 32 bit/ 32bit efi)
with debian. My netboot server runs debian and other diskless boxes boot debian
and other operating systems from this server.
 One severe problem I have is finding a functional boot loader. One of the more
interesting failures was when I assembled a 32 bit efi grub image with all
modules from the stable binary. This errored out with incompatible license.
Using the tool by Sukminder (http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/74087
/grub-incompatible-license-error) I narrowed it down to the module adler23.mod
the problem whent away when this module was not included. I checked the source
from git and this module should be gpl3+.  It appears arch linux has a similar
problem with a different module, so I suspect something fragile in the build
system from upstream.
