Package: grub2
Version: 1.97+experimental.20091127
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source

Trying to build the latest experimental grub2 on a powerpc fails with the following error:

gcc-4.4 -Icommands -I/home/abc/src/grub2/grub2-1.97+experimental.20091127/commands -I. -I./include -I/home/abc/src/grub2/grub2-1.97+experimental.20091127/gnulib -I/home/abc/src/grub2/grub2-1.97+experimental.20091127/include -Wall -W -DGRUB_LIBDIR=\"/usr/lib/`echo grub/powerpc-emu | sed 's,x,x,'`\" -DLOCALEDIR=\"\" -g -Wall -O2 -DGRUB_MACHINE_EMU=1 -DGRUB_UTIL=1  -MD -c -o grub_emu-commands_halt.o /home/abc/src/grub2/grub2-1.97+experimental.20091127/commands/halt.c

I've attached the full build log.  I'm using a mostly-squeeze system.

i can provide more debugging info if it would be useful.
