The first (and last) grub package released in the Cygwin distribution was based on grub codebase from 2008-03-26. My latest reasonably tested merge is ~2 month old. If desired, I can merge & test all remaining changes to current HEAD and post the patches for review soon. BTW: - Supporting "Ltext0" would not help much for Cygwin, because a linker script is required due to the lack of "ld -N" support. - Cygwin liblzo2* packages were released 1 week before the grub package :-) Christian
