Werner, this is obviously caused by your hack in revision 60.
Note that GRUB_LIBS is detected by autoconf; do not override it after detection. grub-configure-check-libncurses was added to get it right,
This patch ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
and you hard-coded it afterwards.
Please fix this properly.
About which hack you are talking about?
Adds an autoconf snipped to properly autodetect GRUB_LIBS. And you override the result with a hard coded value. I call that a hack. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Therefor I really appreciated the change to a statically linked grub that no longer needs the 32-Bit libraries. Given the choice I would use grub in batch mode, which still works, and not install the 32-bit libraries.
Thanks for the feedback! A new version is there, linked statically again, but without the configure patch and the result override. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I know, that's what the grub-configure-check-libncurses solved. I was giving out the initial error to provide more clues as you've stated that "I do not see for what this patch should resolve". Thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
