Hi all,

When using grub-install with binutils 2.31, the following error will occur:
grub-install: error: relocation 0x4 is not implemented yet.

It looks like this is caused by a change in binutils 2.31, as per below:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/util?id=842c390469e2c2e10b5aa36700324cd3bde25875

I originally found the patch from the below discussion:
https://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/152725/

I am using ~amd64.

The above grub patch fixed the issue for me and allowed grub-install to complete successfully. Is it possible to backport the patch so others don't run into this issue?

Thanks!
Sarnex
