It's testing that it can run programs built with the compiler flags. config.log has this: configure:2424: cc -m32 -ftrampolines -fno-stack-protector -fno-pie -nopie conftest.c >&5 /usr/bin/ld: warning: i386 architecture of input file `/tmp//ccNKPoep.o' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output This (producing i386 code on amd64) is basically a cross-compile situation. > > I'm working on grub2 on amd64, I haven't tested that yet > > but following works on amd64: mmcc is right, grub 0.97 as present in the port does not build on amd64. > > jirib:/tmp > > $ grub-mknetdir --net-directory=/tmp/netboot > > Netboot directory for i386-pc created.
