Ok, but this doesn't seem to be related to GRUB, since we don't need to link its utils with any proprietary code. Can't they compile runtime libraries intended for BeOS compatibility using gcc2 and use gcc4 for GRUB (and, well, just about everything else)? -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
