Re: GRUB2 on OpenBSD 5.3-amd64: linking problem

[Ilya Bakulin]

Hi Vladimir,
So I'm preparing a OpenBSD port of GRUB2. I have chosen a revision 5152
for the initial version of the port.
Unfortunately, the build fails when using -Werror.
I suspect that the ports framework overrides some values that are usually 
guessed by ./configure, and this causes build to fail.

The build log are available here:
Build with -Werror:
http://dl.bakulin.de/openbsd/grub-build/make_werror.log

Build without -Werror: 
http://dl.bakulin.de/openbsd/grub-build/make_no_werror.log

Build using ./configure --disable-silent-rules LEX=/usr/local/bin/gflex, out 
of ports framework (in this case ./configure doesn't use any cached values):
http://dl.bakulin.de/openbsd/grub-build/make_standalone.log

I am not familiar with the GNU configure, but AFAIK the product of ./configure
is the set of config-*.h files. If it is right, there are two files for GRUB2,
config.h and config-util.h. Here is a diff between config-util.h generated 
during standalone and port build:

$ diff config-util.h_standalone  config-util.h_portbuild

That is, HAVE_SYS_MOUNT_H is defined when building the port, and "restrict" is 
__restrict__.

Could you please help me to debug this error?
