The -rc1 package builds and works fine in an LFS environment.  Please 
note that our environment is quite limited:

GRUB2 will be compiled with following components:
Platform: i386-pc
With devmapper support: No (need libdevmapper header)
With memory debugging: No
With disk cache statistics: No
With boot time statistics: No
efiemu runtime: No (explicitly disabled)
grub-mkfont: No (need freetype2 library)
grub-mount: No (need FUSE library)
starfield theme: No (No build-time grub-mkfont)
With libzfs support: No (need zfs library)
Build-time grub-mkfont: No (need freetype2 library)
Without unifont (no build-time grub-mkfont)
With liblzma from -llzma (support for XZ-compressed mips images)

I note two warnings using gcc8 if you want to address them:

grub-core/lib/libgcrypt-grub/cipher/rijndael.c: In function 'do_setkey':
grub-core/lib/libgcrypt-grub/cipher/rijndael.c:229:9: warning: suggest 
braces around empty body in an 'if' statement [-Wempty-body]
          ;
          ^
grub-core/lib/libgcrypt-grub/cipher/rijndael.c:352:21: warning: 
comparison of integer expressions of different signedness: 'int' and 
'unsigned int' [-Wsign-compare]
        for (i = 0; i < keylen; i++)


I have one question.  When do you expect to release the stable grub-2.04 
version of GRUB?

Built an Arch Linux package, successfully tested booting on i386-pc and
x86_64-efi. This is ready to go from my point of view.
