That's taking the very unrealistic point of view that using nested
functions isn't broken. It is, in a great many ways which have already
been discussed in depth, and which you've, rather disturbingly, chosen
to ignore. Using "features" which require an executable stack is still
just a bad idea.
It's too bad that the grub project has chosen to ignore the pragmatic
implications of code structure and style.
