grub-1.99~rc1: make check: 20 of 25 tests failed

[Highend-Digital Support]

Hi,

my idea was to be able to boot freedos images with grub(2) which was 
already possible in grub-0.97. Therefor I' downloaded a recent snapshot 
and compiled myself. More details below.

I'm running debian squeeze and downloaded:
   ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-1.99~rc1.tar.gz

I installed under: /usr/local/src
   (all requirements as stated in INSTALL are fulfilled)

configure --prefix=/usr/local
No errors, return value == 0, configure status below
*******************************************************
GRUB2 will be compiled with following components:
Platform: i386-pc
With devmapper support: No (need libdevmapper header)
With memory debugging: No
efiemu runtime: Yes
grub-mkfont: Yes
*******************************************************

make
