I just built this successfully in a clean chroot on x86_64, with the adapted PKGBUILD from simon04. I used multilib-build, from devtools. Out of curiosity, I'd like to know something about the setups of the people who are seeing the start_eltorito.S errors. What architecture are you using, and how are you building the package?

Binaries move to /usr/bin requiring update intervention

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#Framebuffer_resolution should be removed from menu.lst due that GRUB was changed completely to use for grub-common and grub-bios, not grub-legacy

+1. Grub2 got a big WTF from me when I looked at it. The original grub is so much more clean and simple. Only catch here is that it gets hard to support old packages that aren't maintained anymore. I'll try to maintain the package as long as I can!

I'm glad there's still people who prefer this over the complete mess grub2 is.
