Compiling the trunk version was not smooth: it failed on a warning
because of compiler directives. Needed to override this manually.

Results:

intranet:~/g/grub# ./grub-probe  -t fs -v /
./grub-probe: info: changing current directory to /dev.
./grub-probe: info: changing current directory to story.
./grub-probe: info: changing current directory to snd.
./grub-probe: info: changing current directory to net.
./grub-probe: info: changing current directory to shm.
./grub-probe: info: changing current directory to network.
./grub-probe: info: changing current directory to pts.
./grub-probe: info: changing current directory to mapper.
./grub-probe: info: /dev/xvda1 starts from 0.
./grub-probe: info: opening the device /dev/xvda.
./grub-probe: warn: disk does not exist, so falling back to partition
device /dev/xvda1.
./grub-probe: info: opening /dev/xvda1.
./grub-probe: info: the size of /dev/xvda1 is 20971520.
ext2

So, yes, trunk version works.

Best wishes:
