Thank you very much for the tip. I tried the following:

./configure CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include

(I omited the LDFLAGS path because it seems to be correct)

It now stops here:

...
checking for objcopy... objcopy
checking whether objcopy works for absolute addresses... no
configure: error: GRUB requires a working absolute objcopy; upgrade your 
binutils


The file INSTALL mentions that GRUB requires GNU binutils 2.9.1.0.23 or
later. I have binutils 2.15!

Any thoughts?

Thank you.
