Now that we have lzma compression, we should probably consider making another release in a week or two. Before it happens, I'd like to add a configure test for working target compiler, so that users of pure x86_64 machines are not surprised by a message that "start" and "_start" are not found. By the way, that check could be generalized to allow more symbols, such as "Ltext0" on Cygwin. It would be great if GRUB 1.97 compiled on Cygwin out-of-box. Cygwin lacked some lzo development files, but we don't need them anymore. All warnings for i386-pc have been fixed, but perhaps I'll look at other targets if I have time. Also, Valgrind finds some memory leaks, that we may want to fix now. I hope that once GRUB 1.97 is released, we'll eliminate device.map and reorganize the build system to make it more flexible. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
