Thanks for this report! However, I have been unable to reproduce: I am
building on a 64 bits machine (uname -m reports x86_64), and grub
builds fine with the codesourcery x86 2012.09 toolchain. More
specifically, I've built the following configuration:

BR2_x86_64=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_INIT_NONE=y
# BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX is not set
# BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_TAR is not set
BR2_TARGET_GRUB=y

Can you give me your Buildroot .config, as well as the complete build
log of Grub, and the Grub config.log file?

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
