GRUB doesn't have any config.rpath now, so configure can't use it. I only have x86 and x86_64 architectures, so it's possible that it could be installed on other platforms. 2. Further analysis shows that I induced the warning when I incorrectly created Makefile.ac, so the issue should be moot. -- Bruce
