GRUB 2.04 RC01 does not build on Debian Jessie

[adrian15]

  I was able to build 2.02 back in the day in my Debian Jessie chroot.
Now I am unable to build 2.04 RC01.

  So basically what I do is:

git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/grub.git mydir
cd mydir

git reset --hard
git clean -f -d
git clean -f -x -d
# Checkout master so that we can pull last version
git checkout master
# Pull last version just in case we are requesting a new commit
# not found or our local copy of git
git pull
# Finally checkout the requested commit
git checkout "grub-2.04-rc1"
# prepare the locales

./linguas.sh

./bootstrap

./configure \
 --enable-grub-mkfont \
 --with-platform="pc" \
 --target="i386-pe" \
 --prefix \
 "/path/to/sg2d_grub_installations/hybrid/"


 make


make is the step that fails with this error:

Any help or tip is appreciated.
I suspect I might be missing some dependencies that were not needed for
2.02 but now are needed for 2.04 but I'm not sure.
So, thank you again.


Note: I know I should probably need to use a more recent distribution
suchs as Debian 9 (stretch) but I think it's better to report the
hipothetic bug here, you know, just in case.

Note: A quick search finds Jesús Diéguez as the one who added those msr
modules on February/March 2019 which their build seems to fail. I CC him
too.
