This is weird, because I've built and run grub with the CodeSourcery
x86 toolchain, and the Buildroot toolchain (while testing my
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2013-November/082351.html
patch series), and it was just working fine.

Note however that
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2013-November/082365.html
makes a number of changes in the CFLAGS used to build Grub.

I've just pushed this branch (rebased on top of master) at:

  http://git.free-electrons.com/users/thomas-petazzoni/buildroot/log/?h=x86-stuff

Could you try this branch and see if it fixes the problem for you?

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
