32 | <para>This package is known to behave badly when you have changed its default
|
---|
33 | optimization flags (including the <parameter>-march</parameter> and
|
---|
34 | <parameter>-mcpu</parameter> options). Therefore, if you
|
---|
35 | have defined any environment variables that override default optimizations,
|
---|
36 | such as CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, we recommend un-setting them when building
|
---|
37 | Grub.</para>

49 |

50 | <para>Note that the test results will always give the error

51 | <quote>ufs2_stage1_5 is too big</quote>. This is due to a compiler issue,
