Problem description:

When building grub-0.97 from source on a Ubuntu Edgy distro, using the ubuntu
gcc (4.1.2 prerelease 20060928) the build "grub" binary causes a segmentation
fault when trying to run it.

When installing the ubuntu gcc (4.0.4 prerelease 20060630) the problem is
gone.


Reproduction procedure:
(On a ubuntu edgy edge system with the ubuntu 4.1 gcc compiler installed and
active)
 - Open a terminal.
 - sudo bash
 - mkdir /tmp/grub-test
 - cd /tmp/grub-test
 - cp ~/grub-0.97.tar.gz .
 - tar xvzf grub-0.97.tar.gz
 - cd grub-0.97
 - ./configure --prefix=/tmp/grub-test-result
 - make
 - make install

 - cd /tmp/grub-test-result/sbin
 - ./grub

Result:
A "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" message is given.

When using the ubuntu 4.0 gcc package grub runs as expected.
