NEED_REGISTER_FRAME_INFO can be replaced by -static-libgcc

[Christian Franke]

Hi,

a note regarding this fix:

2010-04-11  Vladimir Serbinenko <...>

        Fix cygwin compilation.

        * configure.ac: Define NEED_REGISTER_FRAME_INFO.
        * include/grub/misc.h (__register_frame_info)
        [NEED_REGISTER_FRAME_INFO && !UTIL]: New export.
        (__deregister_frame_info) [NEED_REGISTER_FRAME_INFO && !UTIL]: 
Likewise.
        * kern/misc.c (__register_frame_info)
        [NEED_REGISTER_FRAME_INFO && !UTIL]: New empty function.
        (__deregister_frame_info) [NEED_REGISTER_FRAME_INFO && !UTIL]: 
Likewise.

The *_frame_info symbols are set undefined to force linkage of the 
libgcc_s shared library or dll.

This can be prevented by TARGET_LDFLAGS=-static-libgcc. To build from 
grub-1.98 tarball on Cygwin, run configure with this argument.

May also be necessary on other build platforms when -shared-libgcc is 
the default. It may be possible simply set -static-libgcc unconditionally.
