<para>This package is known to have issues when its default
|
|
optimization flags (including the <parameter>-march</parameter> and

|
<parameter>-mcpu</parameter> options) are changed. If any environment
|
|
variables that override default optimizations have been defined, such
|
|
as <envar>CFLAGS</envar> and <envar>CXXFLAGS</envar>,
|

unset them when building Grub.</para>

<quote>ufs2_stage1_5 is too big.</quote> This is due to a compiler

issue, but can be ignored unless you plan to boot from an UFS
