This is on a macbookpro9,2, running Fedora 20, and I've git cloned from git://git.savannah.gnu.org/grub.git and I'm in master branch.
$ ./configure
checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking target system type… x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
The unknown seems suspicious. And at the end I see "GRUB2 will be compiled with following components:
Platform: i386-pc" which is also wrong.
If I use --with-platform=efi, then at the end I get "GRUB2 will be compiled with following components:
Platform: x86_64-efi" which is correct.
In the configure file I see this:
# Guess the platform if not specified.
if test "x$with_platform" = x; then
case "$target_cpu"-"$target_vendor" in
i386-apple) platform=efi ;;
i386-*) platform=pc ;;
x86_64-apple) platform=efi ;;
I guess $target_vendor isn't getting set to apple and therefore platform doesn't get set to efi.

This is normal; I get the same on openSUSE and IIRC it had always been
the case.

Well ... short of checking for /sys/firmware/efi, how can we know we
may need efi build?

You are running Linux, not OS X here, so $target_vendore cannot be
apple. It refers to OS vendor, not underlying hardware vendor.

autoconf does not attempt to guess the vendor on Linux.
Pass --build to configure with your toolchain's vendor tuple to
resolve this quirk. For example:
./configure --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
This probably will not help with the efi auto-selection issue as
Fedora probably does not use 'apple' in the vendor field.

Checking fiwmware on install is ok. But not on build. Imagine a park of
x86 machines used for building. Build result should not depend on which
firmware they're running.

Actually I think defaulting to platform on which build is running makes
sense. If user needs reproducible build, user should specify platform
explicitly anyway.
