Description Frank Szczerba 2004-12-05 18:35:13 UTC

If BLOCK_SIZE=human_readable is set in the environment when grub is emerged, start.S fails to compile in stage2. STAGE2_SIZE get set to something like 386k, rather than 395264 (for example, not actual numbers).

The fix should be as simple as adding an "unset BLOCK_SIZE" into the ebuild, but unfortunately I don't have the time to try this myself at the moment.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. export BLOCK_SIZE=human_readable
2. emerge sys-boot/grub-0.94-r2


Actual Results:  
make failed in stage2 building start.S. Compiler reported missing ')' at line 366.

Expected Results:  
compiled cleanly

I was building grub-0.94-r2 with gcc 3.3.4 20040623, but this should be universal.
