I did an update today and I noticed that grub-static was updated to v0.96.
Although it emerges okay, it's not installable on my system:
# grub-install /dev/sda
/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage1: Not found.
# grub
-su: /sbin/grub: cannot execute binary file
The old grub-static (0.93.20030118) had these files which are no longer in
0.96:
<<< obj /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/xfs_stage1_5
<<< obj /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/vstafs_stage1_5
<<< obj /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/stage2

I'm aware of the /usr/share/grub stuff being missing as I explicitly checked
grub for it, and as it wasn't there, I assumed it to be compiled into the
binary or such. I didn't catch that it was moved to /lib though.
the revised .tar.bz2 is on it's way to the mirrors, i'll push the ebuild as
soon as the tarball is ready
