Something wrong in grub4dos compile_rules()

The [c]grub4dos-linux[/c] package does not install grub4dos correctly:

in nik57's case, the screen freezes at boot with the message [c]GRUB Loading stage 1.5[/c];

in my case, the computer reboots immediately after [c]GRUB Loading stage 1.5[/c] is displayed.

Installing [c]grub4dos[/c] from Slitaz 4.0 is OK.

I compared files 4.0 / Rolling; the main difference is in the [c]stage2[/c] file size (166.7 kB in Rolling, 209.1 kB in 4.0).

Recompiling grub4dos after having commented the 3 lines

[c]sed -i 's|-O binary conftest|--only-section=.text &|' acinclude.m4 configure
sed -i 's|-O binary|--only-section=.text &|' stage?/Makefile*
sed -i 's|-Wl,-Ttext|-Wl,--section-start=.note.gnu.property=1000 &|' stage2/Makefile*[/c]
in [c]compile_rules()[/c] in the [c]grub4dos[/c] package's receipt allows then to produce a valid [c]grub4dos-linux[/c] package.

(these 3 lines do not exist in the 4.0 receipt)
