Hello, mission impossible for me, I want to make porting SliTaz on arm tablet, and my first step is try to compile grub for arm, but stop the configure with this message
git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/grub.git
cd grub
./autogen
,
,
./configure --prefix=/usr –host=arm-slitaz-linux-gnueabi
,
,

checking for options to compile assembly... configure: error: could not compile assembly

Anyone have ideas to solve?

Hi gibor,
Warning: I'm not a developer 
From your log:
./configure --prefix=/usr –host=arm-slitaz-linux-gnueabi

I think, the magic will be when you install "some package" with this file.
What we already have among cross-compilers that have "something-ranlib" file?
Please, go to http://pkgs.slitaz.org/ , select "File" in the first dropdown, and enter next regexp in the input field:
[c][^/]*\-ranlib$[/c]
Press Search button. You'll see the list of packages with the "something-ranlib" file, but nothing match. So, I think we haven't the package with the cross-compiler for the RPi.
BTW, the precise citation of your link: arm-linux-gnueabihf.
I search Google and found detailed instructions about cross-compiling for the RPi here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19162072/installing-raspberry-pi-cross-compiler
I hope it helps you.

PS. Found something on that web site from your link:
https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/ToolChain -> http://www.linaro.org/downloads/ -> https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest/arm-linux-gnueabihf/
I think the next file will be in help: gcc-linaro-6.2.1-2016.11-i686_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz

Thank at all, I have repeated command as root, and this is the report
make clean
export PATH=$PATH:/cross/arm/tools/bin
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr –host=arm-slitaz-linux-gnueabi

Hi gibor,
Notice the "strange" dash symbol before "host=..." in your command. Seems like double-dash ([c]--[/c]) should be here. Please, retry and re-post output.
(Please, note, I'll not respond in near time: not sleep yet.)
And I guess, that "/cross/arm/tools/" are really exists on your host...

Yes exists, but on any case there is full list of output

I think, your program (GRUB) rejects to assemble with the outdated toolchain:
skipping incompatible /cross/arm/sysroot/usr/lib/liblzma.so when searching for -llzma
Can you use the official linaro toolchain I mentioned in one of the previous posts, as well as detailed instruction from the same post? If not, just wait, and I wrote one more instruction for you based on the linaro toolchain for you. But I need some spare time for that...
