I don't have a problem with suppressing specific warnings if they have been considered and found inappropriate. I'm pretty sure config.rpath only exists for ld. There is is only used when linking an ELF executable with shared objects. Since GRUB doesn't create any libraries, then it is not appropriate. An empty config.rpath is not unreasonable in this case. config.guess, config.sub, missing, mkinstalldirs, and install-sh are only copied from /usr/share/automake- as a part of automake. AFAICT, they are not used in GRUB. I'm pretty sure they are the same on all architectures, but I could be wrong about that. -- Bruce
