Hello,

I tried to install Grub2 under FreeBSD but grub-install failed because readlink doesn't understand -f and stat doesn't have -c. I edited grub-mkconfig_lib.in to use different commands instead. I'm not sure it's the right way to handle this difference but it worked. The patch is attached.

Regards,
Andrey
