<para>This package is known to have issues when its default
optimization flags (including the <parameter>-march</parameter> and
<parameter>-mcpu</parameter> options) are changed. If any environment
variables that override default optimizations have been defined, such
as <envar>CFLAGS</envar> and <envar>CXXFLAGS</envar>,
unset them when building Grub.</para>
<para>Prepare Grub for compilation:</para>
<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr</userinput></screen>
<para>Compile the package:</para>
<screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>
<para>To test the results, issue:
<userinput>make check</userinput>.</para>
<para>Note that the test results will always show the error
<quote>ufs2_stage1_5 is too big.</quote> This is due to a compiler
issue, but can be ignored unless you plan to boot from an UFS
partition. The partitions are normally only used by Sun
workstations.</para>
<para>Install the package:</para>
<screen><userinput>make install
mkdir /boot/grub

<para>Replace <filename class="directory">i386-pc</filename> with whatever
directory is appropriate for the hardware in use.</para>
<para>The <filename class="directory">i386-pc</filename> directory
contains a number of <filename>*stage1_5</filename> files, different
ones for different file systems. Review the files available and copy
the appropriate ones to the <filename
